US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s peace proposal and signalled the US will maintain its naval blockade of Iranian ports until Tehran agrees to a nuclear deal, according to Axios.
“The blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing… They can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump said.
Iran had proposed ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz while deferring talks on its nuclear programme.
