Trump: "Tehran has not yet paid the price " and Tehran is waving the card of nationalization of the Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump, through his platform "Truth Social", announced his deep doubts about Iran's new proposal to end the war, ruling out its acceptance in light of the current data.

Trump said the Iranian regime "has not yet paid a high enough price" for its policies that he described as inhumane.

In a striking escalation, Trump confirmed that he was considering all military options to break the stalemate, threatening new military action if what he described as Iran's "misconduct" continues.

 The 14-point initiative. Tehran's conditions for ending the war

On the other hand, Iranian media revealed the details of the initiative that Tehran handed over to Washington through Pakistani mediators, which consists of 14 items aimed at "ending the war" rather than simply extending the ceasefire, and includes the most prominent Iranian clauses.

The complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iran's periphery and the Middle East,  the immediate lifting of the naval blockade, the payment of reparations for war losses,  the release of frozen Iranian assets, the lifting of all sanctions, and the return to nuclear negotiations to the end of the war on all fronts, including Lebanon.

"Nationalization" of the Strait of Hormuz. A new Iranian weapon

On a strategic level, Iran's parliament announced a "historic" bill to regulate navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which it described as "no less important than the nationalization of oil."

Under the new law, Tehran intends to permanently ban Israeli ships from crossing the strait and impose transit fees on all ships, while obliging "hostile states" to pay war-related compensation and divert 30 percent of the revenues to bolster the armed forces and 70 percent to development projects.

The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has warned international companies against complying with the tariffs, threatening severe penalties.

Tehran Ball in Washington Stadium

For its part, Tehran has put the ball in the US court regarding reaching mutually acceptable solutions, as  the Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghaddam, said that Tehran's negotiating initiative aims to permanently stop the imposed war, stressing that "the positions and demands of the Islamic Republic are characterized by full transparency."

He added in statements to the Iranian news agency IRNA on Sunday that the ball is now in the court of the United States, commenting: "If it sincerely seeks to resolve issues and open the door to negotiations, it must change its behavior."

"Iran enjoys absolute transparency in protecting the interests of its people and defending the country's security, and will not allow enemies to exploit the circumstances, whether during the ceasefire period or in the negotiation process," he stressed.

 He explained that the new Iranian negotiating initiative, which aims to end the war, has been handed over to Pakistani friends as the main mediator in the ongoing process, who in turn conveyed it to the American side.

"Pakistan plays the role of the main mediator in the ongoing process between Iran and the United States, and is making relentless and fruitful efforts to help end the conflict," the Iranian ambassador stressed.

Risks to energy markets

As the threat of U.S. military renewal against Iran grows, Newsweek magazine reveals that the military options the U.S. is considering against Iran raise the cost of geopolitical risks in the energy and transportation markets, as the confrontation moves from limited deterrence to focused strike scenarios that could reshape oil flows through the Gulf.

This shift is not limited to the military dimension, but extends to a comprehensive repricing of supply risks, at a time when the Strait of Hormuz remains the most sensitive choke point in the global economy, exposing markets to the prospect of sharp price and shipping costs.

According to the magazine, Washington is moving toward the option of carrying out a wave of strikes, described as "short and powerful," targeting Iran's military structure with the aim of imposing a new negotiating equation from a position of strength, reflecting a shift from crisis management to trying to solve it tactically.

Such strikes could include military assets and sensitive infrastructure, raising the prospect of a broad Iranian response, rather than just a domestic one, opening the door to an escalation cycle that could extend beyond the Gulf.

 Economically, this kind of strike, even if it is time-limited, has a long-term impact, forcing shipping and insurance companies to immediately reprice risks, which is directly reflected in the cost of global trade, especially in energy routes.
