On April 17, Bloomberg reported that regional officials familiar with the situation stated that some Gulf states and European leaders believe it may take about six months for the U.S. and Iran to reach a peace agreement, advocating for the current ceasefire to be extended to cover this period. These officials indicated that the leaders hope to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy flow and privately warned that if the strait does not reopen by next month, a global food crisis could arise. They also noted that if the war continues for a longer duration, energy prices may rise further. Officials stated that Gulf states believe Iran still seeks to develop nuclear weapons, a stance that has not changed following U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, and therefore believe any peace agreement should prohibit Iran from enriching uranium or possessing long-range ballistic missiles. However, Gulf states generally oppose resuming combat and hope the U.S. will resolve disputes with Iran through diplomatic means.

On April 17, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on April 16, local time, to narrowly defeat a proposal initiated by the Democrats with a vote of 214 in favor and 213 against. The proposal called for President Trump to end military actions against Iran and required congressional authorization before any further military actions could be taken against Iran. The proposal had been rejected in the Senate the previous day. Democrats stated they would continue to introduce similar proposals until military actions against Iran are concluded or congressional authorization for continued military action is obtained. According to the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war. A law passed by Congress in 1973 stipulates that the President can only take limited military action without congressional authorization in response to an attack on the U.S. or an imminent threat that triggers a national emergency.

On April 17, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Robert Dunlap, a man from Texas, was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison by Judge LaShonda A. Hunt for orchestrating a cryptocurrency fraud scheme that defrauded nearly 1,000 investors of over $20 million. From 2018 to 2023, Dunlap claimed to operate a cryptocurrency business and sold a fraudulent digital asset called 'Meta-1 Coin' through the 'Meta-1 Coin Trust.' He spread multiple false statements to potential and actual investors, claiming that the token was backed by artwork valued at up to $1 billion and $44 billion in gold, and falsely asserted that an accounting firm had audited the gold and certified its value. The alleged art collection purportedly included works by renowned artists such as Picasso, Dali, and Van Gogh. To conceal the fact that he did not actually possess the aforementioned gold or artwork, Dunlap forged a series of legal documents.
