Iran presses 7-day Hormuz plan as Trump denies peace talks
Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran is in close contact with mediators on its seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said Vice President Vance's letter to an Iranian official concerned medical supplies. Iran earlier rejected a Qatari proposal. The war has cost the US at least $47.1 billion.
Why it matters
The standoff over Hormuz keeps oil above $100 a barrel and raises costs worldwide.
Background
The US and Iran have been at war since February 2026. A ceasefire was agreed but Trump has said new strikes are possible after the midterms.
