“I’m Rejecting Their Deal”: Trump Blasts Iranian Proposal Amid Reports He’ll Resume Bombing After Midterms<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Speaking to reporters Saturday on the White House lawn, President Trump offered his first direct confirmation that he has rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day ceasefire and is open to the resumption of attacks on the Islamic Republic, as it still insists on its strict demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war.<\/p>\n

The night prior, The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> was the first to report that “President Trump has rejected Iran\u2019s proposal for a seven-day ceasefire <\/strong>and has told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the November midterms<\/strong>, U.S. officials said.” Here’s how the president responded to a reporter’s question Saturday morning:<\/p>\n

\n

Reporter: Will you strike Iran after the midterms?<\/p>\n

Trump: I’m rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they’re losing so badly.<\/p>\n

They want to make a deal, and I think that’s fine. I like making a deal, too, but that deal would\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/87rKbDySLN<\/a><\/p>\n

“Well I\u2019m rejecting their deal,” Trump responded. While in the fresh verbal interaction he did not explicitly state he plans to resume bombing, he also obviously\u00a0did not deny the premise of the question <\/strong>(resumption of bombing Iran).<\/p>\n

“They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they\u2019re losing so badly<\/strong>,“<\/strong> Trump continued. “You know you don\u2019t read that, you don\u2019t see that in the fake news.”<\/p>\n

“We’re winning tremendously<\/strong>. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait, massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait,” he claimed. “Last night we had 29 ships come out. They want to make a deal, and I think that\u2019s fine, I like making a deal, too, but that deal would not be acceptable.”<\/p>\n

“And what they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they\u2019re dying,” Trump said. “You know why they\u2019re dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait<\/strong>.“<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cSo they outsmarted themselves. They said, \u2018Let\u2019s close it and cause a problem for the world.\u2019 And then I came along and we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history. It\u2019s a wall of steel.”<\/p>\n

“I would put it up and guess what? They don\u2019t have any money now because they wanted to close the strait<\/strong>. And I said, \u2018That\u2019s fine, we\u2019re going to close it on you. But everybody else is able to use it,'” Trump added.<\/p>\n

Analysis: President Trump thinks a better deal is just around the corner<\/strong> and he is willing to set the region on fire again<\/strong> in his pursuit of it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately, my pessimism on the U.S.-Iran talks held up.<\/p>\n

The technical details of a new understanding were not difficult to hammer out. But the political commitment for peace is lacking.<\/p>\n

For a brief moment there was hope<\/strong> that the warring sides could get back to ‘technical talks’<\/strong> based on interactions on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this past week. Some premature headlines even stated talks at the technical level were already taking place, which the Iranian side was quick to deny<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But at this point that scenario is clearly not going to happen coming out of the UNGA gathering, as President Masoud Pezeshkian has also now flown out of New York and is headed home, state media outlets have indicated.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi \u2060previously said<\/a>, “If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened<\/strong>, a normal maritime passage restored within seven days. The choice \u200cnow \u2060rests with the United States<\/strong>.” He explained: “The actions that the United States should take \u2060are not new. They are all already in the MoU.” Tehran has said all along it would not back off its conditions for ending the war. The FM was said to be waiting in New York for a response before going back to Tehran. Presumably he too will now return to his country.<\/p>\n

Trump was clearly not satisfied with the Iranian 7-day roadmap after he demanded the “complete dismantling”<\/strong> of Iran’s nuclear program as a key condition for any deal. The Iranians have insisted the question of nuclear enrichment can only be discussed after<\/em> the war is ended, saving the issue for a future time.<\/p>\n

What’s the next phase or gameplan here from Washington’s perspective? Regional analyst and editor of Amwaj.media<\/em>, Mohammad Ali Shabani, offers the following<\/a>: “The next phase of the war will likely revolve around destroying Iran’s economic infrastructure. The method is collective immiseration until desperate Iranians with nothing to lose will do the regime change<\/strong>.” This of course sets the US on a trajectory of yet another ‘forever war’ in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
