U.S. President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days and resume talks on its nuclear program in exchange for concessions from Washington.

“I’m rejecting their deal,” Trump told reporters on Saturday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Friday said Tehran had conveyed an offer on reopening the global energy chokepoint to the U.S. through Qatar.
