  "summary": "Oil prices surged after former US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian offer for a seven-day truce. The proposal, made at the UN General Assembly, aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for the world's energy supply that has been effectively closed since the outbreak of war.\n\nThe Strait of Hormuz is central to the conflict between the US and Iran, with Houthis seizing Yemen's entire Red Sea coast, including the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital shipping lane. According to Trump, Iran's proposal was not \"acceptable\" and Tehran wanted to make a deal because \"they're losing so badly\".\n\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was still waiting for a \"definitive\" official US response and that only a \"negotiated solution\" can end the conflict. Trump expects negotiations to resume, stating that Iran \"want to make a deal, but it is not the deal that I want to make\".",
