The President characterized the Iranian response as insufficient, despite noting that some individuals the U.S. is negotiating with are <strong>&quot;reasonable and not as radicalized&quot;<\/strong> as previously thought.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian proposal, transmitted through Pakistan as part of the <strong>&quot;Islamabad Accord&quot;<\/strong> framework, reportedly includes clauses for a permanent end to regional conflicts and a protocol for safe passage through the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>. However, the U.S. remains firm on its core demand that <strong>Iran cannot have nuclear weapons<\/strong>, a point Trump emphasized as the primary driver of the ongoing war.<\/p>\n<p>Market volatility increased as White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett confirmed in a <strong>CNBC<\/strong> interview that the administration is monitoring surging fuel costs. While Hassett urged state-level intervention, he maintained that the President views the rise in gas prices as a <strong>temporary byproduct of geopolitical tension<\/strong> rather than a long-term economic trend.<\/p>\n<p>On the military front, Trump downplayed the recent loss of a U.S. <strong>F-15 Strike Eagle<\/strong>, calling the downing a <strong>&quot;lucky shot&quot;<\/strong> by Iranian forces. He asserted that the regime has few missiles and drones left, and warned that they would pay a <strong>&quot;big price&quot;<\/strong> for the strike, even as he expressed a desire to eventually bring U.S. troops home from the region.<\/p>\n<p>The President also issued a minor correction to earlier remarks regarding the United Kingdom&#39;s involvement, clarifying that the <strong>UK &quot;has a long way to go&quot;<\/strong> rather than a &quot;long war.&quot; This comes as international allies continue to navigate the complexities of the conflict, which has seen energy giants like ExxonMobil (<a href=\"\/stock\/XOM\">XOM<\/a>) and Chevron (<a href=\"\/stock\/CVX\">CVX<\/a>) face significant supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>As the <strong>Tuesday deadline<\/strong> approaches, defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin (<a href=\"\/stock\/LMT\">LMT<\/a>) and Northrop Grumman (<a href=\"\/stock\/NOC\">NOC<\/a>) remain in focus as the Pentagon prepares for potential further escalations. Trump concluded his remarks by stating that while he would <strong>&quot;choose to take Iran&#39;s oil if possible,&quot;<\/strong> the immediate priority remains a &quot;significant proposal&quot; that meets U.S. security requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways President Trump has set a final deadline of Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET for Iran to agree to
