Iran is holding to its seven-day proposal framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz even after President Trump’s public reject, The Japan Times and other Monday wires report. Tehran’s conditions — described across outlets as including blockade relief, sanctions easing, and a wider ceasefire alongside nuclear talks — have not been rewritten overnight. Trump told Axios he expects more talks this week while calling Iranian terms outdated relative to U.S. Waltz’s CNN interview stressed Iran’s upfront relief ask. That deadlock is familiar: both sides want the other to move first on the most valuable chips. Shipping insurers and oil traders will watch deeds, not adjectives. A credible reopen schedule would show up in transit data and premiums; speeches alone will not. Japan Times, Examiner, and NY Post agree Iran’s terms remain intact after Trump’s reject. Washington says Tehran overplayed; Tehran says it awaits a real U.S.

Iran says it will not soften its seven-day Hormuz reopen terms after President Trump rejected the package. Mediators in Qatar and Pakistan remain in the channel.

The Japan Times, Washington Examiner, and New York Post agree Iran’s seven-day Hormuz terms remain intact after Trump’s public reject. Washington says Tehran overplayed; Tehran says it awaits a real U.S. answer through mediators.

A reject without a published replacement package leaves oil markets and diplomacy in the same unsettled posture. Qatar and Pakistan can keep the channel open, but the seven-day structure Tehran has not withdrawn is still the walking paper until someone tables different text.

Until Tehran withdraws or revises the seven-day structure, mediators are shuttling around a fixed Iranian ask and a public U.S. reject — not a blank slate.
