U.S. President Trump Rejects Iran's Proposed Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz in Seven Days. apapaparrot

US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping within a week.

He told reporters at the White House that Tehran "want to make a deal where they open the Strait immediately because they're losing so badly".

On Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters at the UN in New York that agreement could be reached "if the necessary conditions are met" and that these were contained in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the two countries in June.

The vital waterway through which around a fifth of the world's gas and oil supply usually flows has been effectively closed since the outbreak of war in February.

"I'm rejecting their deal," Trump said on Saturday, adding that the US already had "total control" of the strait, with "massive amounts of oil" passing through it.

"They want to make a deal, and I think that's fine. I like making a deal, too. But that deal would not be acceptable," he added.

On Friday the Wall Street Journal cited officials as saying Trump was sceptical that Iran would meet his demands and had told his staff that he saw a renewed bombing campaign as probable.

Iran responded to US and Israeli air strikes, beginning in late February, by attacking Israel and US bases in the Gulf and Arab Gulf allies of the US - as well as blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Its closure has caused wild fluctuations of energy prices.

The economic effects have also increased pressure on Trump to find a way of ending the conflict - particularly as the US heads towards Congressional elections in November.

Abbas Araghchi said Iran did not add any new conditions in its latest proposals
Araghchi told reporters on Friday: "If the necessary conditions are met, the strait can be reopened, a normal maritime passage restored within seven days,"

He added that "the actions that the United States should take are not new. They are all already in the MOU... The choice now rests with the United States."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, meanwhile, told CBS News, the BBC's US partner: "We

Iran Proposes a Deal to Reopen The Strait of Hormuz in 7 days if the US Meets Its Conditions. apapaparrot

Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume talks on its nuclear program in seven days if the United States lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waives sanctions on Iranian oil sales and observes a ceasefire that would include Lebanon.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi detailed the proposal to reporters outside the U.N. Security Council on Friday, saying it would also restart stalled talks with the U.S. on Iran’s nuclear program.

“The seven-day timeline will start as soon as the United States accepts this plan,” he said.

Araghchi said initial steps would take about four to five days to complete, and the strait would be open on the sixth day. “And on day seven, the talks with the U.S. will be started for the final deal on mutually agreed subjects,” he said, referring to the nuclear program.

Iran’s disruption of the strait — through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil and gas transited before the war — has emerged as its main point of leverage. The effects have been felt far beyond the Middle East and posed political problems for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party ahead of November’s midterm congressional elections.

The White House said only that U.S. officials are having positive and constructive conversations with mediators on the Iran war. In response to questions, it said the U.S. is facilitating significant oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz.

There was no immediate comment on the proposal from Gulf Arab nations, although a person familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations, told The Associated Press that Saudi Arabia was skeptical of the latest push for a deal.

The proposal resembles a June deal that quickly crumbled
The proposal, conveyed to the U.S. by Qatar, strongly resembles an interim deal reached in June, but with an accelerated timetable. The earlier agreement, which called for a 60-day interim period, quickly collapsed as Iran resumed attacks on shipping in the strait.

Trump has said he is in no rush to reach a deal, even as high oil pric

"Not at all": Iran President Pezeshkian denies nuclear weapon ambition, blames US for starting conflict

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ruled out any ambition to develop a nuclear weapon and said Tehran is ready to allow international inspectors to verify its nuclear programme, including measures to dilute its enriched uranium stockpile.

Speaking to Fox News on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Pezeshkian said Iran was prepared to accept international verification but insisted that the country’s nuclear programme was not aimed at developing a bomb.

“Not at all. Not at all. Our martyred, esteemed supreme leader had announced several times that from a religious decree, it is unholy. It is illegal,” Pezeshkian said.

Pezeshkian also said Iran was willing to reduce its enriched nuclear material and accept international monitoring.

“So that weapon's mass destruction. We said we’re willing to dilute them. It’s not a big deal. We are willing to submit ourselves to verification,” he told Fox News.

The comments come as Iran's nuclear programme remains under scrutiny from the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA has said it has been unable to obtain information from Iran on the status of its declared nuclear material and facilities or conduct in-field verification at affected sites, leaving it unable to fully carry out its safeguards responsibilities.

The IAEA Board of Governors on September 9 also referred Iran's nuclear non-compliance issue to the United Nations Security Council, escalating the dispute over Tehran's safeguards obligations.

Pezeshkian also blamed the United States for the escalation, saying Washington chose military action instead of continuing negotiations.

“The problem is that America, instead of conducting dialogue, they descend into the arena by bombing us first, by blocking every pathway. They attacked us,” he said.

He reiterated that Iran's military response was defensive and said Tehran did not want to continue the conflict.

US President Donald Trump has maintained that preventin

Petrol Costs Over ₦3,000/Litre In UK, Nigerians Are Enjoying — Edo Governor Okpebholo. apapaparrot

Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has said petrol costs more than #3,000 per litre in the United Kingdom, claiming that Nigerians are “doing very well” with the current price of the commodity in the country.

Okpebholo stated this on Thursday while speaking at the “Operation Rescue Benin-Asaba Road” event in Edo State.

The governor said he visited London the previous week and decided to compare the price of petrol in the United Kingdom with what motorists pay in Nigeria.

“When we complained about cost of petrol, I was in London last week. I told my friend, ‘Let’s go and buy fuel just to know the cost of fuel between Nigeria and England.’

“Let me tell you, after conversion, it’s about 3,000-something for one litre of fuel,” he said.

Okpebholo said the comparison showed that Nigerians were getting petrol at a lower price.

“We are doing very well here. The President is stabilising the economy. He’s an economist,” he said.

His comment comes amid continued concerns over the cost of petrol and other essential commodities following the removal of petrol subsidy and subsequent changes in pump prices.

The governor said the economic reforms being implemented by the Federal Government were difficult but would eventually yield results.

“Because what we are seeing in Nigeria today is a reform. And that reform that is ongoing is a very difficult one,” he said.

He likened the economic reforms to an aircraft taking off, saying passengers do not receive food until the plane reaches cruising altitude.

“I make an illustration. When a plane is taking off, do you see them serving food? Do you see air hostesses serving food in the plane? They will never give you food until that seatbelt is released. That means on a cruising level. That is when they will start serving food.

“I want to let you know, very soon Nigeria will be on the cruising level. Nigeria will be on a cruising level,” Okpebholo said.

The governor also pointed to road construction across the country as evidence of ongoing development under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

“America Won’t Allow Tinubu Rig 2027 Polls” – US-Based Lobbying Firm Says. apapaparrot

A US-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has raised concerns over Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, saying the United States cannot afford to allow President Bola Tinubu to rig the polls.

The firm argued that credible elections in Nigeria are important to US interests in the country and the wider West African region, although its statement does not represent an official position of the US government.

A US-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has raised concerns over Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, saying the United States cannot afford to allow President Bola Tinubu to rig the polls.

The firm made the statement in a post on its verified X account on Thursday, September 24, 2026, arguing that free and fair elections in Nigeria would be important to American interests in the country and the wider West African region.

The firm further claimed that Tinubu appointed an individual linked by the US Department of Justice to the alleged embezzlement of funds from Nigeria’s treasury to serve as the country’s current minister in charge of the budget. It did not provide supporting documentation for the allegation in its latest post.

Von Batten-Montague-York also warned that what it described as “lawlessness” could put Nigeria on a path similar to Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, while stressing that credible elections would be necessary to protect US interests in Nigeria and the wider region.

Earlier this month, the firm also alleged that the Tinubu administration was using institutions including INEC, the judiciary and law enforcement agencies against opposition parties and candidates. The firm did not provide evidence for those claims in the post.

Von Batten-Montague-York is a private political advisory and lobbying firm, so its statements should not be treated as official positions of the United States government.

Every Nigerian Should Undergo Military Training to Understand Hunger and Endurance - Defence Minister. apapaparrot

Defence Minister Christopher Musa says every Nigerian should experience military training to understand hardship, endurance and the sacrifices soldiers make.

Nigeria's Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, says he wishes every Nigerian could go through military training at some point, arguing that the experience would completely reshape how people understand hardship and endurance.

Speaking on the African Leadership Podcast with Ken Giami, Musa said the experience of hunger, exhaustion and physical strain that comes with military training gives people a perspective on life they can't get anywhere else. He described walking for kilometres while exhausted, hungry and thirsty, and said pushing through that kind of exhaustion is where real endurance is learned.

He tied the point to a broader defence of soldiers, saying the same sacrifice civilians would struggle to imagine is one members of the military live through daily, in service of the country's protection. He referenced the biblical idea that there's no greater love than laying down one's life for a friend, framing military service in that light.

Musa said that framing is part of why he finds it painful when people criticise or insult the military. He said it's not that soldiers want conflict to continue, but that the public underestimates what personnel go through daily, in all weather and conditions, away from their own families, to keep the country secure. He said members of the military deserve more recognition for that sacrifice.

The comments came during a wide-ranging conversation covering Musa's four-decade career, from his entry into the Nigerian Defence Academy in 1986 to his current role as Defence Minister. In the interview, he also argued that a large share of Nigeria's counter-insurgency effort, which he put at roughly 70 per cent, is non-military in nature, and said kidnapping in particular has become more of a social problem than a purely security one.

He also spoke about the psychological toll of warfare, where threats often don't come from anyone in uniform, and
