Trump says he has rejected Iranian proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz
Despite Trump’s comments, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said no rejection had come through official channels.
What the coverage shows
NBC News and Axios both frame the story around the U.S. response to an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with NBC stressing Iran’s stated conditions and Trump’s rejection and Axios focusing on Trump saying he rejected the latest proposal. NBC also uniquely quotes Iran’s foreign minister saying no rejection came through official channels. CBS News’ extract is different, foregrounding an interview with Pezeshkian and, uniquely, a discussion of Mojtaba Khamenei’s health.
