Iran still waiting for official US response to proposal after initial Trump reaction, Araghchi says

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran is currently awaiting an official response from the United States regarding a proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi indicated that Iran is waiting for mediators to communicate the definitive American position before the government determines its next course of action.

This development follows an initial reaction from President Donald Trump, who rejected the proposal. The U.S. president characterized the Iranian offer as a sign of economic distress, stating that Tehran is making the overture because they are losing badly.
