Iran says it will wait for an official response from the United States after President Donald Trump rejected a proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz within seven days.
The proposal was made by Tehran, although the supplied information does not give further details about its terms or the circumstances in which it was put forward. Iran’s position is that it will await a formal US response.
Mr Trump had earlier dismissed the proposal, saying Iran had made it because “they’re losing so badly”. His comments represent the stated US rejection of the offer, while Iran’s latest position indicates that it is still looking for an official response.
No further details are provided about what will happen next or whether the two sides are continuing discussions over the strait.
