Trump rejects Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

President Trump said Saturday he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route. Iran's Foreign Minister responded that the country is fully prepared for new attacks. The rejection escalates tensions in the region, as the strait is critical for global oil supplies. NBC News' Yamiche Alcindor reported the development, which follows heightened military and diplomatic friction between the two nations. The announcement comes amid broader instability, including severe weather and security incidents elsewhere, but the Iran decision carries significant implications for international energy markets and Gulf security.
