U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected a "seven-day plan" proposed by Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on the 25th.
Trump is skeptical of the ceasefire proposal put forward by Iran and has left open the possibility of resuming strikes against the country after the U.S. midterm elections in November, U.S. officials told the newspaper.
The report came shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented the so-called seven-day plan on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York. Iran said shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would resume within seven days if conditions were met, including an end to U.S. hostilities on all fronts.
But Trump told his staff that he doubted Iran would meet his demands and that a resumption of bombing operations against Iran was likely, the officials added.
Earlier in the day, Araghchi told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York that he had proposed to the United States a deal trading the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for the lifting of sanctions on Iran.
