The strike follows Washington's rejection of an Iranian peace proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the plan offered an accelerated version of a June agreement. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at possible pre-midterm strikes against Iran, and Houthi forces have pushed to seize strategic heights along the Yemen coast.Why it mattersThe S https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/houthis-claim-strike-on-another-saudi-oil-tankerhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/houthis-claim-strike-on-another-saudi-oil-tanker#u85575Sat, 26 Sep 2026 22:21:06 +0000President Donald Trump rejected a seven-day peace plan from Iran designed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt regional fighting. Tehran proposed an accelerated version of a June agreement to end conflict in areas including Lebanon and restart nuclear talks.
