US Rejects Iran's Seven-Day Strait of Hormuz Proposal Amid Ongoing Diplomatic Efforts
Iran proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear negotiations if the US lifted its naval blockade, eased sanctions, and released frozen assets. US President Donald Trump rejected the proposal, citing Iran's demands for upfront concessions and asserting US control over the strait. Despite the rejection, both sides remain open to indirect talks mediated by Qatar. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized readiness for diplomacy but also warned of preparedness for renewed conflict, while US officials expressed skepticism about Iran's intentions.
