WSJ: Trump weighs resuming strikes on Iran after election, rejects ceasefire
The Wall Street Journal reports President Trump has rejected an Iranian ceasefire proposal and is considering resuming bombing of Iran after the upcoming election. This signals a potential escalation in US-Iran tensions, though the report is sourced from a single outlet and not yet confirmed. If true, it would mark a reversal from any de-escalation efforts and could significantly impact regional stability and oil markets.

US-Iran Diplomacy: Hormuz Reopening, Sanctions, and Nuclear Stance
Diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran are underway at the UN General Assembly, primarily focused on a phased agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting US economic sanctions.

The outcome remains uncertain, with oil markets reacting to both stalled talks and hopes of de-escalation.
