President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism regarding Iran's proposed "7-day plan" for a ceasefire, leaving open the possibility of resuming attacks against Iran after the upcoming U.S. midterm elections in November.
The Wall Street Journal reported on September 25, citing U.S. officials, that Trump is uncertain whether Iran's proposal aligns with his demands.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented a seven-day ceasefire plan during the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He stated that if the U.S. halts hostilities on all fronts, Iran could normalize shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within seven days.
During a press conference at the U.N. headquarters, Araghchi revealed that he proposed to the U.S. the lifting of sanctions against Iran in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
However, according to the Wall Street Journal, Trump has conveyed to his aides his doubts about whether Iran will accept his conditions and has mentioned the possibility of resuming bombing operations against Iran.
In his earlier speech at the U.N. General Assembly, Trump continued to apply pressure on Iran, discussing both negotiations regarding its nuclear program and the potential for military action.
