The United States should accept Iran's seven-day Hormuz proposal as the basis for negotiations

Diplomatic, economic, and military relations between the United States and Iran, including negotiations, sanctions, and regional tensions within the wider geopolitics shaping the global order.

Donald Trump personally confirmed that he rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and pause regional fighting within seven days. Trump said the United States controlled the strait and was winning the conflict, but shipping remained severely disrupted and Iran said mediators had not formally communicated Washington's rejection.
