Summary
President Trump said Saturday he rejected Iran's seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling the deal not "acceptable" and declining to say whether he would resume strikes after the midterm elections. U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal that Trump had privately rejected the plan and was considering renewed strikes after the November elections. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said the choice to reopen the strait "rests with the United States," and that shipping could resume within days if a deal is reached.
