Trump Rejects Iran’s Seven-Day War Roadmap

President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposed seven-day roadmap, which Tehran says would halt hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin negotiations toward a broader agreement. Iran’s offer reportedly includes a regional ceasefire, lifting the U.S. naval blockade and oil sanctions, and releasing about $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets; in return, the strait would reopen before talks begin. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran is willing to negotiate and could dilute its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent under international rules, while insisting Washington must decide whether to end the war and denying Iran seeks nuclear weapons. Diplomacy continues through mediators amid deep mistrust and ongoing conflict, with the Hormuz disruption threatening global energy supplies. Houthi attacks have widened regional tensions, while Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have discussed support for the kingdom; reports that Trump may consider renewed strikes after the U.S. midterm elections remain subject to change.
