United States President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's offer to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz within seven days, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The proposal was made by Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Iran proposed lifting naval blockades and oil sanctions in exchange for a seven-day ceasefire throughout the Middle East, including Lebanon, and the release of frozen Iranian assets estimated at over $12 billion.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's willingness to negotiate with Washington, but expressed skepticism due to past experiences with the US. The US has not indicated any willingness to fulfill the conditions demanded by Tehran, raising uncertainty over the prospects of a negotiated settlement.
