Iran stated on Sunday that it is still waiting for a formal response from the United States regarding its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within a week. The remarks came from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who made them shortly after President Donald Trump announced he had rejected the plan.
Iran Dismisses Trump’s Rejection, Awaits US Response on Hormuz Proposal
Seven days to reopen a critical chokepoint seems ambitious. I doubt Washington is rushing to send a letter back.
Is this really how de-escalation works? Ignoring each other until something inevitable happens in the Strait?
A diplomatic dance at best. Trump ignores the proposal while Tehran waits for a reply that may never come.
