Iran awaits official confirmation of Trump's rejection of Hormuz deal

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is awaiting a definitive U.S. response to its seven-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, despite President Trump's public rejection, saying Trump's history of contradictory messaging means his rebuff may not be final. Iran said it will not soften its conditions. Trump has told aides he plans to resume strikes on Iran after the November midterm elections, according to UPI.
