Trump Rejects Iran’s One‑Week Hormuz Reopen Offer

UPDATE - follow‑up to US‑Iran War Live News Updates: Iran sends latest proposal to US to end war, reopen Hormuz within a week: US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s seven‑day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war. The offer, conveyed through Qatari mediators, called for the strait to be reopened within a week after the United States takes "certain actions" already listed in a prior MoU. Iran’s foreign minister Ali Akbar Araghchi said the US could complete those steps in four to five days, opening the waterway on day six and resuming talks on day seven. Tehran is waiting for an official US response after the proposal was presented at the UN General Assembly. A Wall Street Journal report cited US officials saying Trump turned the plan down, though Reuters could not verify the claim. Meanwhile, France is drafting a United Nations Security Council resolution to affirm freedom of navigation in the strait, and Qatar has pushed back against Israeli accusations of running an anti‑Israel campaign while continuing its mediation role. The Saudi‑led coalition in Yemen reported intercepting two Houthi‑launched drones aimed at Riyadh. UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, a point Pezeshkian called “illusions and fabrications.” Araghchi warned that Iran will not accept coercion or threats and that reopening Hormuz cannot be achieved through further military actions.
