US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, presented the proposal to Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, a day earlier. The two met on the sidelines of a UN gathering in New York.
The plan called for the Strait of Hormuz — a vital waterway for global oil shipments — to reopen seven days after both sides reached an agreement.
No reason was given for Trump's rejection.
