Iran awaits US move after WSJ report says Trump rejects peace plan

Iran says the proposal could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and pause regional fighting within seven days if Washington agrees.

  • On Saturday, Iran awaited an official United States response to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after the Wall Street Journal reported President Donald Trump rejected the diplomatic initiative.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated the deal would trigger a seven-day countdown to pause regional fighting while requiring the United States to lift port blockades and waive oil sanctions.
  • Trump remains skeptical that Iran would meet his demands, reportedly telling staff a renewed bombing campaign appears likely, while Tehran maintains it will show no flexibility regarding its nuclear program.
  • Defense officials from Turkey and Pakistan met in Riyadh on Friday to coordinate security and intelligence cooperation under the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement framework with Saudi Arabia.
  • Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains largely blocked as Iran-linked Houthi fighters continue targeting Saudi energy infrastructure, pressuring global oil supplies during the seven-month-old conflict.
