U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal for a seven-day plan to halt fighting and begin reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran had conveyed the proposal to the United States through Qatar and is awaiting an official response from Washington.
Under the proposed plan, the U.S. would lift the blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen Iranian assets and suspend oil sanctions. In return, Iran would halt fighting across multiple fronts and begin the process of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that if the United States accepts the proposal, the seven-day process could begin, followed by broader negotiations.
The reported rejection leaves the proposed ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz uncertain, with further developments depending on the positions of both sides.
