Trump is dissatisfied with Iran’s plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz
US President Donald Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which did not address concerns over Iran's nuclear program. The proposal, delivered via Pakistan, called for an end to the US naval blockade but left nuclear issues unresolved. Administration officials are divided on whether continued economic pressure will force Iran to make concessions.
