U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities in the region. The plan, presented at the UN General Assembly in New York, aimed to restore the critical waterway within a week if the U.S. Met certain conditions. Multiple sources report that Trump dismissed the offer, citing ongoing tensions and unresolved security issues.
Iran had raised the initiative through Qatari mediators, claiming it could lead to a de-escalation of the conflict. However, Trump emphasized that the U.S. Would not agree to the proposal without guarantees. The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of the U.S.-Iran standoff, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
Russia’s foreign minister called for implementing the June MoU between the U.S. And Iran, which outlined steps to reopen the strait. Sergey Lavrov described the agreement as a fair and honest deal, suggesting a return to the previous framework. Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Khamenei, has supported the proposal, linking Hormuz’s reopening to broader diplomatic negotiations.
The rejection highlights the deepening impasse between the U.S. And Iran, with no immediate prospects for a breakthrough. The situation continues to affect global energy markets and regional stability.
