President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposed seven-day ceasefire, while U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal that he expects bombing of Iran to resume after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi unveiled the proposal at the UN General Assembly, and Qatar delivered it to Washington. The plan called for an end to fighting on every front, including Lebanon; the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade and easing of oil sanctions; the return of some frozen Iranian assets; and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Nuclear negotiations would then restart. Washington rejected the offer and said the blockade would remain, with Trump questioning whether Iran would meet U.S. demands. The proposal resembles a June 17 truce that briefly halted fighting before collapsing. Trump told the UN that the election did not influence his Iran policy, although officials privately described renewed strikes after the vote as likely. With stock and oil markets closed over the weekend, Bitcoin traded around $84,000 after briefly falling below that level. Brent crude closed Friday at $104.32 a barrel, while reported prices and contracts varied during the session.
