Trump rejects Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz and end fighting

Iran proposed a seven-day roadmap to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities, transmitted via Qatari mediators during the UN General Assembly. President Trump publicly rejected the proposal on September 26, 2026, and the Wall Street Journal reported he told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the November midterm elections. The conflict between the US and Iran began on February 28, 2026, with US and Israeli attacks.
