Trump Rejects Iran Proposal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz
US President Donald Trump says he has rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and put an end to hostilities.
US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, according to White House reports. Iran had suggested this initiative at the UN General Assembly in New York, claiming it could end hostilities within seven days. The proposal was reportedly transmitted to Washington via Qatari mediators.
However, Trump dismissed the deal, stating he accepted it but the terms were not favorable to the United States. He claimed the US was "winning tremendously" and suggested a potential bombing campaign post the November US midterm elections. The US has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports, which were previously under sanctions to pressure Iran to lift the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
