Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had presented the United States with a concrete seven-day plan to restore normal maritime traffic through the strait, but Trump rejected the proposal. The development follows continued tensions involving Iran, the United States and Iran-aligned Houthi forces, including Saudi Arabia’s reported interception of another missile launched from Yemen. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping corridor, so prolonged disruption could affect oil markets, commercial navigation and broader diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
