Iran still waiting for official US response to proposal after initial Trump reaction, Araghchi says
Iran was waiting for the mediators to convey the definitive US position and would make a decision based on it, Araghchi added.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has stated that Tehran has received an initial reaction from the United States regarding Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran is still awaiting a definitive response from the US through mediators. The proposal was submitted to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where Iran claimed it had been relayed to the Americans via Qatari intermediaries.
The initiative aims to reopen the strategic waterway and end hostilities in the region within a span of seven days. However, during a press conference at the White House, US President Donald Trump explicitly rejected Iran's proposal, stating that he had rejected their "deal." Trump further claimed that Iran was losing the situation and that the US was "winning tremendously."
