Story summary

Tehran expressed optimism about receiving a US response to its proposal for reviving a collapsed ceasefire agreement in the Gulf. This development comes as US-led coalition forces completed their withdrawal from Iraq, marking the end of over a decade-long presence there. The move was hailed by all parties, though each claimed victory. President Trump emphasized that the US had "virtually total control" over the Strait of Hormuz, adding that more oil had recently passed through it than at any other time in its history. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi previously stated that Tehran did not receive a formal rejection of its proposal, and on Wednesday, an Iranian spokesperson confirmed that Araghchi had indeed conveyed a US response to the Iranian government. The two sides largely agree on necessary steps but remain at odds over their sequencing.
