Trump plans to resume bombing after rejecting Iran's peace proposal
Trump rejected Iran's seven-day peace proposal and reportedly expects military action to resume after elections.
Iran's foreign minister publicly proposed a seven-day peace plan through Qatari mediators at the UN. A deal would reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz shipping lane and pause regional fighting.
The plan requires the US to lift its blockade on Iranian ports, release frozen funds and drop oil sanctions. Donald Trump privately rejected the proposal, according to the Wall Street Journal.
He reportedly told aides he expects to resume bombing after November elections. A US official had separately told Reuters the two sides were having positive discussions.
But Trump remained doubtful Iran would meet his demands. The seven-month conflict has already killed thousands and disrupted global oil flows.
