Iran plan rejected by Trump would reopen Hormuz ahead of nuclear talks- Reuters

An Iranian proposal rejected so far by US President Donald Trump would reopen shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and delay nuclear talks, a senior Iranian official told Reuters.

The official said the plan would end the war and see Iran reopen the strait while the United States lifts its blockade, with negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear program moved to a later stage.

“Under this framework, negotiations over the more complicated nuclear issue have been moved to the final stage to create a more conducive atmosphere,” the official said.

Trump said on Friday he was not satisfied with the proposal. “They’re asking for things that I can’t agree to,” he told reporters at the White House.

The proposal comes four weeks after the United States and Israel paused strikes on Iran, with no agreement yet to end a conflict that has disrupted global energy supplies.
