  "account": "US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal for a seven-day ceasefire, according to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal. The President informed close aides that he expects Washington to resume bombings following the US midterms, scheduled for November 3rd. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated that the timeline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz would commence once the US accepts Iran's ceasefire proposal. If the US fulfills conditions set by Tehran, the Strait could reopen on the sixth day, followed by renewed talks between the two nations on the seventh day. Meanwhile, two Iran-linked oil tankers seized by the US navy are nearing the United States, where authorities plan to seize the ships and their cargo. Oil prices have fallen as traders anticipate progress in US-Iran talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz and a potential lifting of the blockade on Iranian ports.",
