Trump made the right decision to reject Iran’s offer | US-Israel war on Iran | Al Jazeera

US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, despite ongoing attacks disrupting maritime traffic. The article explains that this decision was a calculated move rooted in deterrence, refusing to accept Iran's asymmetric diplomacy that would have allowed Tehran to control global trade routes. The rejection signals that freedom of navigation is an absolute, non-negotiable aspect of international order, not a bargaining chip.
