The longer they drag their feet, the more American taxpayers will pay for it,&#8221; he said.Two sides remain far apartTrump has demanded a major rollback of Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities, while Iran is pushing for a more limited agreement that would reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz and lift the US blockade ahead of further negotiations.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted the conflict would not end until Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities were destroyed.Tehran&#8217;s foreign ministry said Iran&#8217;s proposal asked that the US recognise its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, which it has effectively closed since the start of the war, allowing only a small number of ships to pass and charging tolls.But experts say such an arrangement would likely violate international law that provides for freedom of navigation. That proposal is also likely to be widely rejected by the international community. The strait was open to international traffic before the war.The world now also faces a shortage of fertiliser, much of which comes from Gulf ports, risking food supplies for tens of millions of people.Jorge Moreira da Silva, executive director of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), warned there were just a few weeks left to avert a potentially &#8220;massive humanitarian crisis.&#8221;&#8221;We may witness a crisis that will force 45 million more people into hunger and starvation,&#8221; he said.Iran is also demanding war reparations from the US, the lifting of international sanctions, the unfreezing of Iranian assets held abroad and an end to the war between Israel and Lebanon&#8217;s Iran-backed Hezbollah, according to Iranian state TV.Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange blows, mainly in southern Lebanon, since a nominal ceasefire took hold last month.Israeli strikes on a town in southern Lebanon killed six people and wounded seven others, Lebanon&#8217;s state-run National News Agency (NNA) said Tuesday, as fighting continues despite a ceasefire agreement.The NNA on Tuesday reported strikes near other southern Lebanese towns, and the Israeli military ordered an evacuation of the town of Sohmor in eastern Lebanon&#8217;s Bekaa valley.&#8221;We did not demand any concessions \u2014 the only thing we demanded was Iran\u2019s legitimate rights,&#8221; Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Monday. &#8220;The American side still insists on its one-sided views and unreasonable demands.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/05\/12\/iran-ceasefire-on-life-support-trump-says-as-deadlock-in-negotiations-deepens&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/75\/50\/01\/1200x675_cmsv2_8b1087ad-e31e-559f-afd2-b7fba96f21a6-9755001.jpg&#8221;] Culture news Eurovision Song Contest: Who are the most popular artists of all time?
