Iran proposed a conditional seven-day reopening of the Strait of Hormuz at UNGA, which the US has rejected. President Trump reportedly prefers to consider new airstrikes against Iran after the November elections, indicating a hardening US posture. The specific conditions of Iran's offer and the full scope of US rejection remain partially unconfirmed.
