Trump Plans to Resume Bombings After Midterms Despite Iranian Peace Proposal
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with reports indicating he intends to resume bombing operations on the country following the November midterms. This stance contradicts earlier statements by Trump promising to end the conflict shortly after the elections to lower oil prices. Iranian Vice Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested reopening the strait and resuming nuclear talks within seven days if Washington ceased aggressive actions, lifted the naval blockade, and released Iranian assets. While direct skirmishes have decreased, a Saudi-led coalition intercepted Houthi drones and missiles targeting Riyadh, which were supported by Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported that while backchannel negotiations continue via mediators, Trump expects to launch new attacks in the autumn.
