US President Donald Trump has turned down an Iranian offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, amid continued US-led economic pressure on Tehran. The offer came as Washington intensified its campaign to restrict Iran's access to international financial and aviation networks, targeting banks and airlines. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the pressure is starting to have an impact.
Trump claimed Iran had proposed the deal to reopen the strategic waterway immediately, but he rejected it, believing Iran was seeking the agreement under duress. The Strait of Hormuz is crucial for global energy and shipping flows, and any disruption could raise transportation costs and crude prices.
