Trump Rejects Iran Truce Offer, Citing Sanctions Leverage

US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest proposal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying Tehran is "losing badly" and the terms are unacceptable. Iran's seven-day plan included lifting the naval blockade, waiving oil sanctions, releasing $12bn in frozen assets and a regional ceasefire. Experts say Trump believes economic pressure will extract more concessions, though waiting carries political risk before November's midterms.
