[Trump Rejects Iran’s Proposal to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz within Seven Days] On September 26, the Wall Street Journal reported on the 25th, citing several U.S. officials, that U.S. President Trump rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and told his aides that he might resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections for the U.S. Congress in November. According to reports, Trump said in public that Iran has been "begging" for an agreement after the U.S. midterm elections, which includes dismantling Iran's nuclear program. U.S. officials said Trump privately doubts Iran will meet his demands and has told his staff about the possibility of resuming bombing operations, but Trump's current views may change based on the results of the midterm elections.
