Trump Rejects an Iranian Plan to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz
NPR reports that President Trump said he was rejecting an Iranian plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal is similar to a memorandum of understanding the U.S. and Iran agreed back in June, according to the same report. That resemblance is the part worth watching: the plan under discussion is a variation on a framework the two sides have already agreed once, which puts the argument over terms rather than over whether the waterway reopens.
