Iran War: Trump: Rejected Iranian Hormuz Offer
Iran made a new push for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The offer was not acceptable for US President Donald Trump.
US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for oil deliveries. According to Trump, the offer was not acceptable as the US naval blockade is putting economic pressure on Iran by cutting off revenue from energy exports. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi had said that Tehran had sent a "seven-day plan" to Washington via Qatar, which included US demands to be met before the strait would be opened.
The US had imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports in response to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which had led to higher fuel prices in the US. Trump claims that 29 ships passed through the strait the previous night.
