Summary

President Trump privately rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting, and is considering renewed strikes after the November midterm elections, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the decision to reopen the strait "rests with the United States," and that shipping could resume within days if a deal is reached. Iran's president has said Tehran wants a deal before the midterms.
