WSJ: Trump rejects Iran peace plan and allows resumption of bombing

U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's seven-day cease-fire plan and told advisers he expects to resume strikes on the Islamic Republic after the midterm elections in November. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.

In a conversation with his inner circle, Mr. Trump expressed skepticism that Iran would comply with the terms of the proposed plan, U.S. officials told the newspaper. The extent to which the President’s planned bombing campaign will take place is unclear.

At the same time, according to the interlocutors of the publication, the views of the American president may change in the coming weeks, as well as under the influence of the election results. Mr. Trump himself has publicly stated that domestic policy does not affect his decisions on Iran. “I absolutely did not and will not take into account the election factor when it comes to Iran,” he said at the General Assembly in New York.

Tehran’s proposed plan calls for the United States to lift its naval blockade, thaw Iranian assets and lift oil sanctions. In response, Iran pledges to open the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks.
