Trump says he rejected the latest Iranian proposal

President Trump said on Saturday that he rejected the latest Iranian proposal that was conveyed to the U.S. during indirect negotiations in New York this week. Why it matters: While Qatar and other regional mediators are trying to revive negotiations between the U.S.

What the coverage shows

NBC News and Axios both frame the story around the U.S. response to an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with NBC stressing Iran’s stated conditions and Trump’s rejection and Axios focusing on Trump saying he rejected the latest proposal. NBC also uniquely quotes Iran’s foreign minister saying no rejection came through official channels. CBS News’ extract is different, foregrounding an interview with Pezeshkian and, uniquely, a discussion of Mojtaba Khamenei’s health.
