‘Trump Strait’: US President renames Hormuz after rejecting 7-day ceasefire offer

US President Donald Trump on Friday posted a map on Truth Social depicting the Strait of Hormuz as “Trump Strait.”This comes after Trump reportedly rejected Iran’s seven-day framework offer for reopening the strait and resuming negotiations over its nuclear programme.According to The Washington Post, Trump vowed that Iran would never acquire a nuclear bomb, expressed scepticism that Tehran would meet his demands and said a renewed US bombing campaign remained likely.Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi had earlier said normal maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz could be restored within seven days if Washington accepted Tehran’s conditions.Under the proposal, the US would lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waive sanctions on Iranian oil sales and observe a ceasefire that includes Lebanon.“If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, a normal maritime passage restored within seven days.
