WASHINGTON, April ⁠27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump discussed ⁠a new Iranian proposal on ‌resolving the war with Tehran with his top national security aides on Monday, White House ​press secretary Karoline Leavitt ⁠told reporters.

Answering questions ⁠at a briefing, Leavitt did not offer ⁠an ‌opinion of the proposal, in which the Strait of ⁠Hormuz would be opened and Iran's ​nuclear program ‌discussed at a later date. But ⁠she ​said Trump's bottom line demands remain the same.

Trump wants the Strait of ⁠Hormuz oil transit waterway to ​be open and for Iran to hand over its enriched uranium.

"I wouldn't say ⁠they're considering it. I would just say that there was a discussion this morning that I don't want ​to get ahead of, ⁠and you'll hear directly from the ​president, I'm sure, on ‌this topic," she said.
