Trump Rejects Iran's Seven-Day Ceasefire Proposal
US President Donald Trump has rejected a seven-day ceasefire proposal from Iran, which included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and halting hostilities. The proposal was presented through Qatari mediators and had conditions such as an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, relief from sanctions affecting Iranian oil exports, and a cessation of hostilities across the region.
According to reports, Trump told aides he expected US bombing of Iran to resume after the November congressional elections. The White House has described US discussions through mediators as positive and constructive.
In response to the rejection, Trump posted a map on Truth Social depicting the Strait of Hormuz under the label 'Trump Strait'. The name used in Trump's post does not represent an internationally recognised change to the name of the waterway.
