FAZ·IR · US · SA·about 1 hour ago
US President Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal for a ceasefire, according to a liveblog report. The UN has condemned Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia, and Dubai has suspended flights to Iran. The rejection signals continued escalation in the Iran-US confrontation, with regional tensions high.
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.
