  "summary": "US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said Iran was not negotiating \"in good faith\" to end the war. According to Waltz, Iran's proposal to end the war was rejected by the Trump administration because Iranian negotiators \"were asking for everything up front\", including relief from billions of dollars in sanctions.\n\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was still awaiting a US response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Araghchi stated that Iran was prepared to reopen the strait if the US met certain conditions, including ending what he called the \"war of aggression\", releasing Iranian assets that had been frozen, and allowing Tehran to sell its oil.\n\nAraghchi questioned why the US was unwilling to release Iranian funds before the reopening of the strait, saying the money belonged to Iran. He also claimed that diplomacy had not failed, but argued that Iran had little reason to return to negotiations with the current US administration due to previous attacks during negotiations in 2025 and 2026.",
