Iran keeps door open to talks as Trump rejects Hormuz proposal
Iran has kept the door open to negotiating a solution to the ongoing conflict, despite U.S. President Donald Trump publicly rejecting a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Tehran is awaiting a formal response from the U.S. through mediators, but has not received Washington's definitive position.
Tehran's conditions for reopening the strategic waterway include lifting the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, waiving sanctions on Iranian oil sales, and observing a ceasefire that includes Lebanon. The seven-day proposal, presented at the United Nations General Assembly, aimed to reopen the strait and resume talks on Iran's nuclear program within a week.
However, Trump stated that he rejects the proposal, expecting to resume bombing Iran after the November midterms.
