Iran proposes Hormuz plan, Trump reportedly refuses
The United States had yet to publicly respond on Saturday after Iran offered a plan to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, though reports indicated that President Donald Trump had rejected the proposal.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's seven-day ceasefire proposal and expressed confidence that US bombing of Iran will resume after the November midterm elections, according to US officials. Iran had invited the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks as part of the offer. Under Iran's terms, the US would lift its naval blockade, ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports, and observe a ceasefire that includes Lebanon.
In exchange, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and engage in negotiations over its nuclear program. Despite Tehran's proposal, Trump privately doubts Iran's willingness to meet his demands and anticipates renewed bombing. He fears depleting limited munitions reserves for other contingencies. However, Iran maintains that the seven-day framework would only commence once the US accepts the plan, with the Strait reopening on the sixth day and talks starting on the seventh.
