Update: Iran says it received a U.S. response on Hormuz and ceasefire terms
Iran said Wednesday it had received a United States response to its latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and revive a collapsed Gulf ceasefire, Reuters reported, citing an Iranian government spokesperson’s post that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed the reply to President Masoud Pezeshkian’s cabinet. President Donald Trump said Sunday he had rejected Tehran’s offer, which sought a seven-day ceasefire and an end to the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in exchange for reopening Hormuz; an official briefed on the Qatar-mediated talks told Reuters the sides still disagree on the order of steps. Trump told reporters Tuesday Iran is “failing very badly” and that the war “will be over with very soon,” Fox News reported, while Britain’s UKMTO said two ships were hit by projectiles in the strait the previous day.
