Trump rejects Iran's Strait of Hormuz ceasefire proposal but says talks may resume
President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day truce and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, presented at the UN General Assembly via Qatari mediators. Iran insisted its conditions, lifting the US naval blockade, releasing frozen assets, and removing sanctions, are non-negotiable, while US officials said Iran was asking for too much up front. Both sides indicated indirect talks could resume in the coming week despite the impasse.
