U.S. President Donald Trump has declined an Iranian proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz and terminate the ongoing Iran war. Iran announced the proposal at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, stating it was conveyed to the United States through Qatari intermediaries. The proposal aimed to re-open the crucial waterway and cease hostilities in the region within seven days.
However, during an appearance at the White House, Trump expressed his rejection of the proposition. He stated, "I reject their proposal." Trump also mentioned that Iran was proposing the deal due to their unfavorable situation, as they were losing the war and their revenue was heavily dependent on the Strait of Hormuz. Despite his rejection, Trump indicated a willingness to negotiate, saying, "I like making a deal too."
