Wall Street Journal: Trump Rejects Iranian Ceasefire Proposal, May Resume Bombings
According to the Wall Street Journal citing US officials, President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal for a ceasefire and may 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 that the ball is now in the US court to accept the plan, a US official confirmed that positive and constructive talks are ongoing via mediators. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted Houthi drones and a ballistic rocket targeting Riyadh and other cities, as the UN Security Council condemned escalating violence by the Iran-backed Houthis against Saudi Arabia.
