Tehran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks in exchange for Washington lifting its blockade of Iranian ports, easing sanctions on oil exports and releasing some frozen Iranian assets.
Negotiations continued through mediators, but Washington told Tehran it would not lift the blockade, according to the report. Trump privately doubted Iran would meet his demands, although officials said his position could change in the coming weeks.
US Joint Chiefs review next steps after Trump rejects Iran offer, source tells i24NEWS
The US Joint Chiefs of Staff resumed assessments of their next course of action following President Donald Trump’s rejection of Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a security source told i24NEWS.
The source stressed that the assessments did not indicate preparations for an imminent attack.
Trump rejected the offer Saturday. Tehran had proposed reopening the strait and resuming nuclear talks within seven days in exchange for Washington lifting its blockade of Iranian ports, waiving sanctions on Iranian oil sales and observing a ceasefire that included Lebanon.
