US President Donald Trump shared a map on Truth Social renaming the Strait of Hormuz as the “Trump Strait,” following reports that he rejected an Iranian diplomatic proposal. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented a seven-day plan at the UN General Assembly to reopen the waterway, contingent on the US lifting its naval blockade, waiving oil sanctions, and observing a ceasefire that includes Lebanon.

The UN reports a 90 per cent unemployment rate in Gaza, while Unicef warns that recent Houthi advances in Yemen have displaced over 133,000 people.

US President Donald Trump rejected a diplomatic proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, subsequently mocking Tehran by renaming the waterway on Truth Social. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had presented a seven-day plan contingent on the US lifting its naval blockade, waiving oil sanctions, and observing a ceasefire that includes Lebanon. Reports suggest Trump is sceptical that Iran will satisfy US demands, reportedly telling White House staff that he expects a renewed bombing campaign to resume after the November midterm elections.
