Donald Trump has rejected Iran's seven‑day roadmap to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks, according to a statement from the White House.
Tehran, through Qatar, submitted a proposal that would allow the strait to reopen and nuclear negotiations to resume within a week, provided Washington agreed to the terms.
The proposal, which was delivered via diplomatic channels in Qatar, hinges on a swift agreement from the United States before the seven‑day deadline.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway through which a significant portion of the world’s oil shipments pass, making its status a key issue for global energy security.
Trump’s rejection of the plan underscores the ongoing diplomatic impasse between the United States and Iran over the region’s security and nuclear programme.
