U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected a plan put forward by Iran concerning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Le Monde.
To justify his decision, Trump claimed that Iranian leaders were seeking this deal because they were, in his words, "badly losing."
The Strait of Hormuz, a strategic passage for a significant share of global oil trade, is regularly at the center of tensions between Tehran and Western countries.
A Strategic Flashpoint
Developments around the Strait of Hormuz are closely watched by energy markets, given the waterway's central role in transporting crude oil worldwide. Any disruption or negotiation concerning its status carries potential repercussions for prices and international energy security.
The precise content of the Iranian plan rejected by Washington was not detailed in the initial report, nor were the next steps envisioned by either side.
