US President Donald Trump rejected a seven-day ceasefire proposal by Iran, in recent developments in the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Trump is eyeing fresh military escalations against Tehran post-US midterm elections.
President Trump rejected Iran’s proposal for a seven-day ceasefire, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Quoting US officials, Trump told his aides he expects to resume strikes against Iran after the November midterms. Under the plan, he said that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, after which comprehensive negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program would begin. Speaking to reporters at the United Nations General Assembly, Araghchi said the initiative closely resembles the memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached between the United States and Iran in June.
The development aligns with the recent open threat of annihilating Iran that US President made from the stage of the 81st UNGA session. In a separate meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, Araghchi emphasized that Iran has already communicated its reasonable conditions and requirements to the American side for advancing diplomacy. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Thursday that Tehran has put forward a seven-day proposal aimed at ending the conflict in West Asia.
“We did reach an agreement with your president; that agreement was signed, and based on that, we are willing and still wish to move forward.
We are ready,” Pezeshkian said. And the framework was agreed upon. We had not closed the Strait of Hormuz; it was open, without any legal justification or framework… They attacked us. They assassinated and martyred our esteemed supreme leader; our scientists, military commanders and government. The problem is that America, instead of conducting dialogue, they descend into the arena by bombing us first, by blocking every pathway.
