Key global and domestic cues to know on April 28, 2026
US-Iran talks
Iran presented a new offer to stop its attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a complete end to the war, including the US lifting the naval blockade of Iranian ports and the postponement of nuclear negotiations, reported The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.
Trump has discussed Iran’s reported offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on the US lifting its blockade and ending the conflict, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
It is still uncertain if Trump, who has stated that sanctions relief will only be granted after a deal is “100% complete,” is open to viewing the proposal as a means to reduce tensions in the ongoing two-month conflict.
