Iran proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz following the disruption caused by the US-Iran war, but US President Donald Trump publicly rejected the offer as unacceptable. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was still awaiting an official, definitive response from mediators despite Trump's comments, while President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran no longer trusts direct talks with Washington. The exchanges came as the UN General Assembly session wrapped up with only mixed progress on broader diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. The standoff underscores the fragile and confusing state of negotiations, with conflicting signals from Washington and Tehran leaving the future of the strategically vital waterway uncertain. Analysts questioned whether the intense week of UN diplomacy meaningfully advanced prospects for ending the US-Iran war, given the rejection of Iran's proposal and Tehran's declining trust in US-mediated talks.
