Trump dismisses Iran's ceasefire proposal
U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to cease fire for seven days, which Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif presented on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. American officials indicated that Trump expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections in November and has told his aides that he is not eager to lift Iran's maritime sanctions, believing that economic pressure will force Tehran to negotiate. Nevertheless, negotiations between Washington and Tehran are ongoing through intermediaries, including discussions on the nuclear issue, with efforts advancing to ensure the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran previously put forward a plan to reopen the strait within seven days, involving a halt to hostilities, the release of frozen assets, and the lifting of sanctions. However, Trump's stance remains cautious, with expectations that this position may change as the conflict develops and the upcoming elections approach.
