Trump Rejects Iran's Nuclear Talks and Strait of Hormuz Proposal

wmur.com —

President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks, expressing confidence the war will end soon as it enters its eighth month. Iran offered to reopen the key waterway and discuss its nuclear program within a week if the U.S. lifted its port blockade, but Trump dismissed the offer. The strait's closure has cut transits by 84%, contributing to gas prices rising from $2.98 to $4.48 per gallon. Iran's foreign minister stressed continued openness to diplomacy despite the conflict. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump may sustain strikes after midterms, as some Republicans worry the war's handling could affect their congressional prospects.
