US President Anticipates Resuming Bombing Amid Rising Tensions
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and expects to resume bombing after the November midterms, according to reports. Iran has stated its readiness to negotiate limits on its nuclear program and allow inspections, but tensions remain high. The Saudi-led coalition has intercepted Iran-backed Houthi drones near Riyadh, and Oman has discussed safe passage through Hormuz with Iran. The situation was first reported by various sources, including the WSJ and Iran International, and is being closely monitored by the international community.
