The US, under President Trump, has consistently rejected multiple Iranian diplomatic overtures, including offers to supply uranium for civilian use, a general truce, and a conditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Foreign Minister has stated Tehran is prepared for both war and diplomacy, leaving the choice to the US. This indicates a continued diplomatic stalemate with high-level rhetoric, but no immediate de-escalation.
