US President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected a proposal from Iran that would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz seven days after a broader agreement was reached, according to a report from France 24.
The plan was presented by Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, to Steve Witkoff, an envoy for Trump, on the sidelines of a United Nations gathering in New York, the report said.
Under the proposal, the strategically important waterway would have reopened one week after the two sides reached an agreement, according to the reported terms.
Strategic importance of the strait
The Strait of Hormuz, situated between Iran and Oman, is one of the world's key chokepoints for oil and gas shipments, linking Persian Gulf producers to international markets. Disruptions to traffic through the strait have historically drawn close attention from global energy markets and governments with interests in the region.
The report did not specify what alternative, if any, Trump proposed in response, or whether further talks between the two sides were planned following the rejection.
