Trump says he has rejected Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
The proposal would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz and paused fighting in exchange for easing the U.S. blockade and sanctions, officials said.
- President Donald Trump has rejected a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and resume nuclear negotiations.
- The Iranian offer, delivered via Qatari mediators at the United Nations General Assembly by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, required the U.S. to end military strikes, lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports, release frozen assets, and waive oil sanctions.
- The White House maintained that Washington holds a dominant strategic position along the vital shipping corridor and has no intention of lifting its maritime blockade, which officials view as crucial leverage to force a more favorable long-term agreement.
- Following reports of the rejection, Iran’s armed forces warned of an "unprecedented response" to any renewed military escalation, while Tehran continues to seek a diplomatic resolution through Gulf mediators.
