Iran Reaffirms Diplomatic Stance Over Strait of Hormuz Following US Ceasefire Rejection
Iran stated it remains committed to diplomacy while prepared to confront aggression after US President Donald Trump rejected its ceasefire road map for the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran proposed a seven-day truce involving the reopening of the waterway on the sixth day in exchange for specific US steps, including unfreezing Iranian assets.
