President Trump rejected Iran's seven-day plan, presented at the UN General Assembly, under which fighting would halt on all fronts, the US naval blockade and oil sanctions would be lifted, frozen assets released, and the Strait of Hormuz reopened after seven days with nuclear talks to follow. The dispute over the sequence of steps remains unresolved. Araghchi said on October 8 that Tehran was reviewing Washington's response and would reply within days, so the channel stayed open.
