According to a Wall Street Journal report cited by Reuters on September 26, 2026, U.S. officials said President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and pause fighting in the wider Middle East conflict within seven days. Iran said the plan was conveyed through Qatari mediators during the U.N. General Assembly; the U.S. government had not publicly confirmed a rejection, and Reuters said it could not independently verify the Journal’s account.
