  "account": "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian discussed a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during an interview on CBS's Face the Nation. He acknowledged the atmosphere of distrust between Iran and the United States, citing the ongoing sanctions and threats from the U.S. He expressed willingness to adhere to any agreement the U.S. commits to if they accept Iran's proposal to reopen the strait and restart negotiations. Iran's foreign minister had proposed reopening the strait after seven days and initiating talks, which the U.S. has yet to respond to. Pezeshkian pointed to the collapse of the ceasefire agreement known as the memorandum of understanding (MOU) due to Iran's targeting of commercial vessels. He claimed Iran would allow U.N. nuclear inspectors into the country if they request. Despite being in the U.S.'s territory, Pezeshkian stated that Iran is not in a shelter and continues functioning normally.",
  "summary": "Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian, who is also a physician, says he has visited Iran's supreme leader twice and talked with CBS News' Margaret Brennan about Mojtaba Khamenei's health.",
