Trump Turns Down Iran Ceasefire, Signals Bombing After Midterms
President Trump has rejected Iran’s seven-day ceasefire proposal and reportedly told aides he expects bombing to begin after the November midterms, WSJ reports.
President Trump has turned down an Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire, according to The Wall Street Journal. He has told aides he expects to begin bombing Iran after the November midterms.
The Iranian offer would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz and resumed nuclear talks in exchange for the US lifting its blockade of Iranian ports. Trump is reportedly skeptical that Iran will meet his demands and sees a renewed bombing campaign as likely.
The reported stance comes on day 209 of the Iran War. It points to continued military pressure and no immediate diplomatic off-ramp, keeping tensions elevated around a key energy chokepoint.
