US President Trump rejected Iran's proposal for a seven-day truce and told his aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections, officials told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
Tehran's proposal would have reopened the Strait of Hormuz and resumed nuclear talks in exchange for the lifting of the US blockade on Iranian ports, which is causing severe damage to the country's economy.
Trump openly claims that Tehran is begging for a deal, following the midterm elections, that would dismantle its nuclear program.
The scale of possible strikes remains unclear, and officials say his position could still change.

Iran has officially submitted to the US a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήAraghchi said the plan was passed on through Qatar and that normal maritime passage could be restored within seven days “if the necessary conditions are met”.
According to media reports, the plan calls for a seven-day halt to all hostilities in the region, including in Lebanon.
It would also include the release of at least $12bn in frozen Iranian assets; the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil; and an end to the US naval blockade.
Araghchi told reporters at the UN on Friday that initial steps would take four to five days, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen on the sixth day and “on day seven, the talks with the US will be started for the final deal on mutually agreed subjects,” referring to Iran’s nuclear programme.
“The choice now rests with the United States. Iran does not accept coercion, threats, or intimidation, and Iran will not surrender its sovereign rights under pressure,” Araghchi said.
But The Wall Street Journal reported Trump had rejected the proposal, citing US officials familiar with the matter. The US president also posted an image to his Truth Social platform of a map showing the Strait of Hormuz circled and labelled “Trump Strait”.
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha rechazado la propuesta de Irán para un alto el fuego de siete días y ha comunicado a sus asesores que espera reanudar los bombardeos contra la República Islámica después de las elecciones de mitad de mandato de noviembre, según funcionarios estadounidenses citados por The Wall Street Journal.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήSegún la propuesta, presentada esta semana por el ministro de Exteriores iraní, Abbas Araghchi, Teherán habría reabierto el estrecho de Ormuz y reanudado las conversaciones nucleares si Washington aceptaba una serie de condiciones, entre ellas el levantamiento del bloqueo naval a los puertos iraníes, la liberación de algunos activos congelados y aliviar las sanciones a las exportaciones de petróleo iraní.
Ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ απέρριψε την πρόταση του Ιράν για κατάπαυση του πυρός διάρκειας επτά ημερών, φέρται δε να είπε σε συνεργάτες του ότι οι βομβαρδισμοί του στρατού των ΗΠΑ εναντίον της Τεχεράνης θα συνεχιστούν τον Νοέμβριο μετά τις ενδιάμεσες εκλογές.
