US President Donald Trump said he has rejected a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and resume nuclear negotiations, in exchange for the United States lifting its naval blockade of Iranian ports.
"They made a proposal but I reject it," Trump told reporters at the White House, without elaborating extensively on the specific terms Iran had offered.
According to reports, the US president is said to expect renewed strikes following the midterm elections, suggesting the standoff over the strategic waterway could continue for the foreseeable future.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, and the ongoing dispute between Washington and Tehran over its status continues to be closely watched by international markets and regional governments.
