Trump Rejects Iran's Hormuz Reopening Proposal
President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and resume nuclear talks in exchange for lifting the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said the strait could reopen within a week if conditions were met. Trump called the proposal not "acceptable" and declined to say whether he would resume military strikes after the midterm elections.
