Donald Trump will not allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
Trump reportedly rejected a ceasefire proposal from Iran.
The report claims that Trump is skeptical that Iran will meet the demands of the United States.
President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposed seven-day ceasefire and told aides he expects U.S. bombing of Iran to resume after the November midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing U.S. officials.
Trump is reportedly skeptical that Tehran will meet U.S. demands despite continued negotiations through regional mediators.
Iran’s proposal called for the U.S. to lift its naval blockade, unfreeze some Iranian assets and ease sanctions on Iranian oil exports in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear negotiations, according to the Journal.
The U.S. has told Iran and mediators that Trump does not intend to lift the maritime blockade, the outlet reported.
The head of CENTCOM revealed a major milestone in the Strait of Hormuz.
Over 1 billion barrels of crude oil were transported through the Strait with the help of US forces.
Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command (Centcom), said Saturday that U.S. forces supported the transport of more than 1 billion crude oil barrels through the Strait of Hormuz “in the last couple of months” despite an ongoing exchange of strikes with Iran.
“We’ve reached this significant milestone while assisting over 2,000 commercial ship transits through the strait by providing coordinated protection. Clearly momentum is building,” Cooper said in a video posted to social media.
“Thousands of ships have passed through the strait. Over 1 billion barrels of crude have been shipped from Gulf partners through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has exported zero barrels thanks to our ironclad blockade,” he continued.
The US is winning, and Iran is losing!
