In a recent statement, President Trump dismissed an Iranian proposal aimed at de-escalating tensions by lifting blockades and deferring nuclear talks.

The White House is reportedly considering extending the blockade, which has already contributed to rising oil prices, with Brent crude trading at $107.49 per barrel following these developments.
