The proposal was discussed at the UN General Assembly in New York, with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that a seven-day countdown would begin if the US agreed to the terms. Iran would also lift its blockade on Iranian ports, release frozen funds, and waive oil sanctions as part of the proposed deal. However, Trump's administration is reportedly skeptical of Iran's willingness to meet his demands, believing a renewed bombing campaign is likely after the November US midterm elections. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed readiness for talks on the nuclear program and other issues, but emphasized that Iran would not accept bullying or coercion. The conflict, which began in February, has resulted in thousands of deaths and damaged Iran's ailing economy, with Iran and its allies extending the war to other regions.", "summary": "Donald Trump is privately sceptical that Iran will meet his demands and has told his staff that he sees a renewed bombing campaign as likely after the November US midterm elections, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials.", "key_points": [], "editors_take": null, "illustration": null, "coverage": { "outlets": 14, "also_reported_by": [ { "outlet": "Ynetnews", "title": "‘Bad idea’ or ‘betrayal’: Pentagon split pushed Trump to cancel Houthi strikes", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/22/bad-idea-or-betrayal-pentagon-split-pushed-trump-to-cancel-houthi", "published": "2026-09-22T05:59:15.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Jerusalem Post", "title": "Trump rejects Iranian ceasefire proposal, expects war to continue after midterm elections - report", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-iranian-ceasefire-proposal-expects-war-to-continue", "published": "2026-09-26T01:14:40.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Haaretz", "title": "Trump rejects Iranian peace proposal, WSJ reports", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-iranian-peace-proposal-wsj-reports", "published": "2026-09-26T01:22:59.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Free Malaysia Today", "title": "Trump rejects Iranian peace proposal, WSJ reports", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-iranian-peace-proposal-wsj-reports-9882835", "published": "2026-09-26T01:29:35.000Z" }, { "outlet": "New Straits Times", "title": "Trump rejects Iran peace proposal, plans renewed bombing after US elections: WSJ", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-iran-peace-proposal-plans-renewed-bombing-after-us", "published": "2026-09-26T01:46:30.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Hindustan Times - World News", "title": "Trump rejects Iran’s 7-day peace proposal, plans to resume bombing after midterms: Report", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-irans-7-day-peace-proposal-plans-to-resume-bombing", "published": "2026-09-26T01:58:02.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Free Press Journal", "title": "President Donald Trump Rejects Iran’s 7-Day Ceasefire Plan As US Strikes Could Resume After November Midterms", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/president-donald-trump-rejects-irans-7-day-ceasefire-plan-as-us", "published": "2026-09-26T02:19:54.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Live Mint", "title": "US-Iran war: Donald Trump rejects Tehran's seven-day ceasefire proposal to reopen Hormuz, expects bombing to resume", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/us-iran-war-donald-trump-rejects-tehrans-seven-day-ceasefire-proposal", "published": "2026-09-26T02:31:57.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Gulf News", "title": "Iran proposes Hormuz plan, Trump reportedly rejects; Saudi intercepts Houthi drones near Riyadh", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/iran-proposes-hormuz-plan-trump-reportedly-rejects-saudi-intercepts", "published": "2026-09-26T02:44:28.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Al-Monitor", "title": "Iran awaits US move after WSJ report says Trump rejects peace plan", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/iran-awaits-us-move-after-wsj-report-says-trump-rejects-peace-plan", "published": "2026-09-26T02:46:30.000Z" }, { "outlet": "The Indian Express", "title": "Trump rejects Iran’s 7-day peace proposal, war likely to resume after US polls", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/trump-rejects-irans-7-day-peace-proposal-war-likely-to-resume-after", "published": "2026-09-26T03:26:41.000Z" }, { "outlet": "Business Recorder", "title": "Iran awaits US move after WSJ report says Trump rejects peace plan", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/iran-awaits-us-move-after-wsj-report-says-trump-rejects-peace-plan-9927433", "published": "2026-09-26T06:22:57.000Z" }, { "outlet": "SABC News", "title": "Iran awaits US move after WSJ report says Trump rejects peace plan", "url": "https://urgent.news/2026/09/26/iran-awaits-us-move-after-wsj-report-says-trump-rejects-peace-plan-9943956", "published": "2026-09-26T08:34:28.000Z" } ] }, "ai_generated": true, "disclaimer": "Summaries, key points and the editor’s take are written by software from other outlets’ reporting and may contain errors — always check the linked original." }
