00:00Iran continues diplomatic efforts as Tehran puts forward a proposal to U.S. authorities that focuses on the conflict over
00:07the Strait of Hormuz.
00:08Iran submitted its latest proposal to end the war with the U.S. to Pakistan, which is transmitting messages between
00:14Tehran and Washington after direct talks on April 11th in Islamabad failed to deliver a breakthrough.
00:23Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz during a 72-hour diplomatic sprint across three countries, Pakistan, Oman and Russia.
00:32This comes amid increasing tension in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran continues to block following U.S. President Trump's
00:38decision to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.
00:55Meanwhile, in the United States, White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt affirmed that the Iranian proposal regarding the mutual opening
01:01of the Strait of Hormuz is being discussed by President Donald Trump and his advisors.
01:07The proposal was being discussed. I don't want to get ahead of the president or his national security team.
01:12What I will reiterate is that the president's red lines with respect to Iran have been made very, very clear,
01:18not just to the American public, but also to them as well.
01:26Iran denounces the U.S. naval blockade and interception of its vessels as piracy.
01:31Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesman Ismail Bakay issued a statement on Monday in response to announcements by U.S. authorities regarding
01:38the detention of ships such as the MT Majestic
01:41and the MT Tiffany in the Indian Ocean.
01:44The vessels were carrying about 1.9 million barrels of Iranian oil each and were seized under federal orders as
01:50part of Washington's unilateral sanctions regime.
01:54Iran described the action as an illegal act of maritime policy that violates international law.
01:59This new aggression comes on top of the naval blockade imposed by the United States on Iranian ports and Iran's
02:04closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response.
02:11Iran laid out the international law.
