Trump rejects 7-day plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Iran had presented a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and return to negotiations for a lasting end to the war.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Trump rejecting an Iranian seven-day proposal tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and, in several cases, resuming negotiations. Reuters stands out for framing the story as Iran still awaiting an official US response, while France 24 says Trump reportedly refused and NBC News twice versions the story, first on the proposal itself and later on Trump’s rejection. The Guardian, The Independent and CNBC are alone in foregrounding wider war context, midterm timing or renewed strikes, while BBC and Axios emphasize Trump’s dismissive language.
