'Trump Strait': US President shares new map of Hormuz after rejecting Iran's 7-day ceasefire offer

Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's offer to restore maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz within a week. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi linked the reopening of the strait to several conditions, including sanctions relief. Trump previously suggested that the strait could become US territory due to naval control, reinforcing America's position. The region remains critical to global oil and gas trade and is central to US-Iran tensions.
