Washington, May 3 : US President Donald Trump said that he has been briefed on the concept of a potential agreement with Iran, but is awaiting the final wording before making any decision â?? while cautioning that military action remains on the table if Tehran misbehaves.

Speaking to reporters before boarding a flight to Miami from West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said: â??They told me about the concept of the â??deal. Theyâ??re going to give me the exact wording now.â??

His remarks come amid heightened tensions and fragile diplomatic efforts, with Washington signaling both openness to negotiation and readiness to escalate. Trump underscored that the possibility of restarting strikes against Iran has not been ruled out, reinforcing a dual-track approach of pressure and diplomacy.

According to a senior Iranian official, Tehran has put forward a proposal that, if accepted, would reopen shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to what Iran describes as a US blockade. However, the proposal reportedly defers detailed negotiations over Iranâ??s nuclear program to a later stage â?? a point that has so far been rejected by Trump.

Meanwhile, posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote:

â??I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but canâ??t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!â??

On the diplomatic front, Iran has intensified outreach efforts. Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi briefed foreign envoys in Tehran on Saturday, outlining what officials describe as a renewed initiative to de-escalate tensions with both the United States and Israel.

Iranian authorities said the proposal was transmitted via Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator in indirect talks between Tehran and Washington. During the briefing, Gharibabadi emphasised that Iran remains committed to diplomacy rooted in national interests, but warned that the country is fully prepared to respond decisively to any military escalation.

He described the proposal as an effort to bring a â??permanent endâ?? to what Iran calls imposed hostilities, while placing responsibility on the United States to choose between continued confrontation and meaningful dialogue.
