  "summary": "Iran's foreign minister said that if there is seriousness on the US side to come to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, everything is now prepared. According to the New Straits Times and Times of India, US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt regional fighting within seven days.\n\nIran's proposal, as reported by several outlets, included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting nuclear talks with the US. In return, the US would lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports, and observe a ceasefire that includes Lebanon.\n\nThe Wall Street Journal, as cited by the New Straits Times, reported that Trump has told his aides that he expects the US to resume bombing Iranian territory after the November congressional elections. Trump is reportedly skeptical that Iran would meet his demands.",
