Trump rejects Iran's seven-day Hormuz reopening proposal

2026-09-26 · diplomatic

Trump told reporters at the White House on Saturday 26 September, 'They made a proposal but I reject it,' saying Iran wanted the strait reopened immediately because it had 'no money coming in'; the Wall Street Journal had reported he told aides he expected to resume bombing Iran after the November midterms. Araghchi said no rejection had been conveyed through the mediators, and US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said Iran was 'asking for everything up front'.
