Trump says US and Iran close to deal, threatens renewed bombing

President Donald Trump says the US and Iran have made "great progress" toward a deal to end the war. He claims a new proposal could stop the fighting, but warns that if Iran rejects it, "bombing starts."

Iran says it is reviewing the US proposal, but a state-linked news outlet reports that some terms are unacceptable to Tehran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also suggested the war is effectively over. Trump mentioned a pause on a naval operation called "Project Freedom" near the Strait of Hormuz as part of the push for a deal.
