(Cairo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Sang-hoon = Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the Iranian delegation, who had proposed resuming negotiations with the United States through a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz at the UN General Assembly, are scheduled to stay in New York until the 30th, Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported on the 26th (local time).

Minister Araghchi met with Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy for the Middle East, on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly on the 22nd and conveyed Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

These conditions reportedly include the immediate lifting of the U.S. maritime blockade on Iranian shipping, the immediate return of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to the war on all Axis fronts of resistance.

However, U.S. President Donald Trump met with reporters at the White House on this day and announced that he had rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

It has been reported that President Trump is planning to resume airstrikes against Iran after the U.S. midterm elections in November.
