Wall Street Journal: Trump Rejects Iranian Ceasefire Proposal
The Wall Street Journal reports that US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian ceasefire proposal, expecting to resume bombings on Iran after the November midterms. Iran had offered to lift the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days in exchange for the removal of US maritime blockades and oil sanctions. While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated the ball is now in the US court, a US official confirmed positive discussions via intermediaries. Meanwhile, Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted Houthi drones and a ballistic missile targeting Riyadh and other cities.
