US EditionTrump to Hold Press Conference After Tehran Rejects Strait Reopening in Ceasefire Talks
Iran rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal and demanded permanent war guarantees, while the U.S. threatened military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Monday, President Trump warned at the White House that Iran could be "taken out in one night," threatening a surge of strikes by Wednesday unless the Strait near Hormuz is reopened.
- A 45-day ceasefire proposal submitted Sunday seeks to halt the six-week conflict, yet the war's duration and strategic objectives remain unclear as fighting enters its sixth week.
- Iran's closure of the Strait disrupts 20% of global oil transit, driving gas prices to around $4 last week. A CNN poll shows Republican approval for President Trump dropped to 43%, down from 52% in January.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Radcliffe joined President Trump at the White House to detail the successful weekend rescue of a downed airman.
- Trump said on social media over the weekend that if the Strait is not opened, "you'll be living in Hell." He warned Wednesday could be "Power Plant Day" and "Bridge Day" for Iran.
