Iran sticks to Hormuz plan after Trump rejects it
Iranian officials that while they were aware of Trump's comments on rejecting the new proposal, they had not received a formal message rejecting the plan that would open the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran reiterated its demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, despite US President Donald Trump's rejection of the country's proposal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran's conditions must be met for any progress towards reopening the key waterway. Iran proposed a seven-day plan at the UN General Assembly in New York, which aimed to end hostilities in the Middle East and comply with the terms of a previous ceasefire deal.
Trump publicly dismissed Iran's proposal on Saturday, accusing the nation of making demands while "losing badly." Iran's ports remain under a US blockade, and the Persian Gulf Strait Authority warned ships of consequences for using illegal routes in the region. Around a fifth of global oil demand previously passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the ongoing conflict.
