Amid stalled US-Iran peace talks, President Trump's rejection of Tehran's latest proposal on April 28 has dimmed prospects for concessions on key Iranian demands like oil sanction relief or unfreezing assets before month's end. Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and delay nuclear discussions in exchange for ending the US naval blockade and war guarantees, but US officials cited unresolved nuclear ambitions and maintained red lines. Trump extended the ceasefire on April 21-22 while dispatching envoys to Pakistan for indirect diplomacy, yet escalating rhetoric signals potential airstrikes if no deal materializes by April 30 resolution. Traders weigh low concession odds against Trump's maximum-pressure strategy and historical negotiation patterns.
