President Trump swiftly rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as "unacceptable," while Tehran awaits a "definitive response" from Washington through mediators. The rejection raises questions about whether the U.S. is using pressure tactics to extract additional concessions from Iran.
Unacceptable.
That was the immediate reaction from US President Donald Trump to Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran says it’s still awaiting what it called a ‘definitive repsonse’ from Washington, through mediators.
But Trump has said Iran needs a deal because, in his words, it’s losing badly.
So, is his rejection of the proposal an effort to pressure Tehran for more concessions?
