Trump rejects Iran proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Original: # Trump rejects # Iran proposal to reopen the # StraitOfHormuz Trump spoke to reporters Saturday outside the White House

President Trump said Saturday, outside the White House, that he is rejecting Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had proposed reopening the strategic shipping lane and resuming talks on its nuclear program within seven days if the United States lifts its naval blockade. The rejection signals continued deadlock between Washington and Tehran over shipping access and nuclear negotiations.

Why now: The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global oil route, so any US-Iran standoff over it directly affects energy markets and international security.
