Trump rejects Iran proposal on reopening Strait of Hormuz
Tehran says it is awaiting Washington’s definitive response through mediators, while a report says Trump has threatened to resume strikes.
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Al Jazeera. He said Tehran needed a deal because it was “losing badly”.
Iran said it was awaiting what it called a “definitive response” from Washington through mediators. The supplied report does not detail the proposal’s terms or explain the basis for Trump’s rejection.
Al Jazeera also reported that Trump has threatened to resume strikes on Iran. It gave no timing or conditions for any possible military action.
The report raised whether the rejection was intended to pressure Tehran into further concessions, but did not establish that as the reason for Trump’s decision.
