Trump rejects Iran’s proposal for deal to reopen Hormuz
Tehran's plan calls for a cessation of all hostilities in the Middle East, including in Lebanon, according to foreign minister Abbas Araghchi.
The United States has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global energy supply. President Trump stated that Iran is losing badly and wants to make a deal for an immediate opening of the strait. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that the proposal had been developed in coordination with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Iran's plan includes a cessation of hostilities in the Middle East, including Lebanon, and lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, following a memorandum of understanding signed with the US. Iran plans to open the strait on the seventh day of a truce. Saudi Arabia expressed concern about the international community's failure to protect the waterways.
Russia offered to contribute to stabilizing the region. Iran rejected the US's skepticism and remains committed to meeting its seven conditions.
