Iran says it will wait for official US response after Trump rejects Strait of Hormuz proposal

Araghchi wrote on Telegram that Trump "has made many good statements, as well as many contradictory ones, which unfortunately we hear frequently"."We are waiting for the mediators to convey the definitive views to us, and we will make a decision based on them," Araghchi said.Oman, which has been acting as a mediator between the US and Iran, called for all parties to continue having open dialogue to resolve the crisis.Oman's foreign minister, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, told the UN General Debate that "all parties" should cooperate with Oman in efforts to safeguard navigation in the strategic waterway.Trump's rejection of Iran's proposal was backed by the US ambassador to Nato, Matthew Whitaker.Speaking to Fox News on Saturday, Whitaker said that Iran had offered "half measures" and "illusory deals to make themselves look good on the world stage"."President Trump's right to reject it," he said.Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Saturday that economic pressure from the US was taking a toll on Tehran.
