Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and resume nuclear talks, citing Iranian demands for 'everything up front' including lifting sanctions and releasing frozen assets.
Iran proposed a seven-day timeline to reopen the strait and restart nuclear negotiations, with conditions including lifting the US naval blockade and allowing UN inspectors to assess Iran's nuclear sites. Trump's rejection came after a meeting with UN officials where Iran's foreign minister emphasized their stance on the matter.
The rejection comes as Iran faces economic pressure from the US naval blockade, which has disrupted global oil flows and increased global costs. Iran's foreign minister stated they would not back down from their demands, signaling continued diplomatic resistance despite previous tensions with the US.
