Iran says it is waiting for an official US response to a proposal it put forward to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting in the wider Middle East. Iran says it submitted the initiative during the UN General Assembly in New York and that it was transmitted to the United States via Qatari mediators.
The Wall Street Journal reports that US President Donald Trump has rejected the deal, prompting Iran to seek clarification through formal channels. Both outlets describe Iran’s initiative as linked to restarting access to the strategic waterway and to reducing hostilities more broadly, with Iran saying the proposal could lead to changes within days if accepted. The accounts focus on Iran’s diplomatic posture and its pending response from Washington, rather than providing details of any US alternative position.
Overall, the reports agree on the core sequence: Iran advances the proposal through UN diplomacy and Qatar, and it is now awaiting an official reaction after the US president’s reported rejection.
