U.S. officials say President Trump rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire that would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz and restarted nuclear talks in exchange for the United States lifting its blockade of Iranian ports and easing economic pressure. Those officials also said he told aides he expects bombing of Iran to resume after the November midterm elections.
