BATTLE OVER HORMUZ: Trump rejects Iran proposal as more talks expected

President Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling it unacceptable. While the U.S. maintains a strict military blockade and ramps up economic pressure to strangle Iran's oil revenue, the White House confirms that constructive talks with mediators are ongoing. The U.S. is also pressuring China to cease its support for the Iranian regime.
