Trump declines Iran's Strait proposal
U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume trade through it, affirming that Tehran is seeking an agreement due to the significant economic losses resulting from its closure. Trump stated that the United States now exercises full control over the strait, with 29 ships passing through during the past night. He pointed out that Iran is in an economic crisis as a result of closing the strait, which depends on oil revenues and trade. Trump also described the blockade imposed by Washington as "the largest blockade in military history" and said that a "steel wall" has been built around the strait. Iran had proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the strait, but Trump rejected it, emphasizing that the United States would not agree to any deal allowing Tehran to reopen the strait unconditionally, amid ongoing disagreements over the terms of its reopening and the future of their relations.
