In an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, diplomatic tensions between the United States and Iran remain palpable, as recent statements from President Trump signal a cautious exploration of peace through Iran’s 14-point proposal.

This diplomatic overture comes after a tenuous three-week truce that has temporarily alleviated the U.S.-Israel-led conflict against Iran. Despite the ceasefire, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced its
