US Iran War: Tehran Insists on Diplomatic Solution After Trump Rejects Peace Plan
Araqchi said a negotiated solution could reopen the waterway if U.S. conditions are met, while Trump said Iran is pushing the deal from weakness.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, telling reporters he viewed the initiative as a sign of desperation from Tehran.
- Earlier last week, Iran transmitted a peace proposal through Qatari mediators that would trigger a seven-day countdown to reopening the waterway and pausing regional fighting, contingent on lifting U.S. sanctions.
- Simultaneously, Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted two drones and a ballistic missile launched by Iran-linked Houthi fighters toward Riyadh and Khamis Mushait on Saturday, intensifying the regional conflict.
- Iranian officials insisted Sunday that diplomacy remains the only solution, though reports indicate President Trump may consider resuming bombing campaigns after the November midterm elections.
- The seven-month-old conflict continues to disrupt global oil flows, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claims U.S.-led economic pressure on Tehran is successfully bearing fruit.
