Trump rejects Iran's plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz
–
Neutral summary
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday, September 26, that he rejected Iran's latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling it unacceptable. The Iranian plan, conveyed through Qatar during indirect talks in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, proposed resuming shipping through the strait within seven days in exchange for lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, a ceasefire, and ending the naval blockade. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the conditions went no further than the June understandings. Trump said of the rejection: “They want to make a deal to open the Hormuz Strait immediately because they're losing so badly.” A US official, however, claimed discussions through mediators, including contacts between envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Araghchi, were still ongoing. Earlier, sources reported work on a phased deal involving reopening the strait in exchange for lifting the blockade. Trump also posted a map calling the strait the “Trump Strait,” and Iran's national security council secretary Mohsen Rezaei had given Washington four to five days to respond. Over the weekend, Yemen's Houthis attacked Riyadh. Clarín reported Brent crude closed at $104 a barrel.
