US President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected a seven-day plan put forward by Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to France 24.
The proposal was presented by Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, a day earlier on the sidelines of a United Nations gathering in New York.
Full details of the plan, including the conditions Iran had attached to it, were not disclosed in initial reporting. Trump's decision to reject the proposal underscores continuing tension over the strategic waterway, a corridor connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman that is critical to global oil shipments.
Neither the White House nor Iranian officials had issued a detailed public statement on the exchange at the time of reporting, and it remained unclear what, if anything, would follow the rejection.
