Trump says he has rejected Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Trump said Iran’s seven-day plan would not ease pressure, as officials cited skepticism about Tehran’s willingness to meet U.S. demands.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump rejected Iran's seven-day ceasefire proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling the deal conveyed by Qatari mediators at the United Nations unacceptable.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented the plan Friday, proposing to reopen the strait and resume nuclear talks if the United States lifts its naval blockade, waives oil sanctions, and releases at least $12 billion in frozen assets.
- Trump told aides he expects to resume bombing after the November midterm elections and privately expressed skepticism Iran would meet his demands. He also posted an image of the strait labeled "Trump Strait" on Truth Social early Saturday.
- U.S. Central Command reported redirecting 122 commercial vessels to enforce the naval blockade as of September 25. The Pentagon quietly added 37 troops—including 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines—to its official wounded tally this week.
- Iran insists it will not yield to "bullying or coercion," while the Trump administration maintains it does not intend to lift the maritime blockade, signaling both sides remain entrenched as Washington maintains pressure through the November midterms.
