  "summary": "Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had seen an initial reaction from US President Donald Trump to its proposal but had yet to receive a definitive response through mediators. According to Middle East Eye, Araghchi added that Iran was waiting for the mediators to convey the US position and would make a decision based on it.\n\nThe proposal, which was for a seven-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, was rejected by Trump, who claimed that Iran was seeking a deal because it was \"losing so badly\" in its conflict with the US, as reported by The Hill, Live Mint, and Dawn. Trump said that Iran wanted the strategically vital waterway reopened immediately because it was under financial pressure due to the US naval blockade.\n\nTrump portrayed the situation as a major US military and economic advantage, claiming that Washington had established control over the Strait of Hormuz, with Fortune adding that US officials believe time is now on their side and no longer on Iran's side. The US naval blockade is said to be crushing Iran's economy, with new financial sanctions tightening the screws even more.",
