Trump rejects Iran’s 7-day peace proposal, plans to resume bombing after midterms: Report

US President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and cease hostilities for a week, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The proposal, conveyed through Qatari mediators, would require Iran to release $12 billion in frozen assets and waive sanctions on Iranian oil, among other demands.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told the UN on Friday that Tehran had presented its peace plan to Washington. However, Trump reportedly remains skeptical of Iran meeting his demands, anticipating a resumption of bombing campaigns in Iran following the November congressional elections.
