US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, despite the waterway's critical role in global oil supply. The rejection comes as Iran waits for a definitive response from US negotiators.
Trump publicly dismissed Iran's offer, stating it was not acceptable and that the US already controls the strait. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, acknowledged the rejection but highlighted contradictions in Trump's past statements and called for a negotiated solution.
Iran's negotiators are awaiting a definitive response from US mediators, with Oman urging continued dialogue to resolve the crisis. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and the potential for further economic sanctions against Iran.
