The position was also echoed by Iran\u2019s chief negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf in recent remarks to the Iranian parliament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The Iranian official said Tehran was looking for signs that Washington was prepared to resume negotiations, lift its military blockade of Iranian ports and halt operations linked to the Strait of Hormuz. <!-- -->If the US took those steps, Iran was prepared to reopen the strategic waterway within seven days and return to the negotiating table, the official said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>However, some Iranian media outlets close to the IRGC denied that any new position had been adopted, highlighting differences within Tehran.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Trump warns Iran of &#8216;annihilation&#8217;<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>In his address to the General Assembly, Trump defended his decision to launch the war with Iran, saying he had shown resolve while other leaders had hesitated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>At the same time, he suggested the conflict could be approaching a turning point, calling on Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and return to negotiations to reach a settlement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>\u201cI have a big decision to make,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWill a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world. Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>\u201cThe terrorist regime is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate,&#8221; Trump added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>Most members of Iran\u2019s delegation walked out of the chamber as Trump criticised the Islamic Republic in his address.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">War continues to pressure energy markets<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"52\"\/>The conflict has grown more complicated despite US and Israeli strikes that have killed much of Iran\u2019s top leadership and damaged its air force and navy, while a US blockade on Iranian oil has further strained Tehran\u2019s economy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>The war has also kept energy markets on edge, with oil prices remaining elevated. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia shut a key pipeline that had served as an alternative route for oil stranded in the Gulf after it came under attack by Iran-backed militants in Iraq.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>Meanwhile, territorial advances by Yemen-based Houthi rebels, another Iran-backed group, near the Bab al-Mandab Strait have made the Red Sea shipping route increasingly hazardous for oil carriers.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
