Iran live updates: Trump rejects Iran offer to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Ali Mohammadi, the deputy political commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, said on Saturday that Iranian forces would target American vessels in the Indian Ocean if heavy fighting with the U.S. resumes.

“If another war breaks out, we will undoubtedly attack and hit their vessels and destroyers even in the Indian Ocean,” Mohammadi said, in comments published by the semi-official Fars News Agency.

The Indian Ocean sits beyond the southern entrance to the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, which have been the focus of Iranian and U.S. maritime actions during the ongoing conflict. U.S. vessels have been operating in the Indian Ocean to enforce their blockade of Iranian ports and shipping.

President Donald Trump said Saturday morning that he rejected Iran’s seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, though he did not go into specifics as to why he found the proposal unsatisfactory.

"Well, I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where we open the Strait immediately because they're losing so badly," Trump said. "We're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait."

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

"And what they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they're dying. You know why they’re dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait," the president said.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told journalists Thursday there is a "major atmosphere of mistrust" between the U.S. and Iran, but that "we are ready for a trust-building relationship."

After Iran's president addressed the U.N. General Assembly in New York, he provided remarks to a small group of journalists, including ABC News' Martha Raddatz.

"We struggle to understand why America attacked Iran," he said. "We don't want a nuclear weapon," adding, "President Trump says the U.S. obliterated the program, so why do they need to inspect?" But he said, "We are willing to have inspectors."

Separately, Iran's foreign minister told journalists that Iran has presented a plan through mediators that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz in seven days if the U.S. agrees to certain conditions.

The minister did not spell out the steps the U.S. would have to take but said they were similar to a memorandum of understanding the U.S. signed in Islamabad but has since backed away from.

With gas prices in the U.S. soaring to nearly $4.50 per gallon and diesel prices at an all-time high tonight, the Iranian president told journalists, "It is impossible for the U.S. to make Iran surrender."

He acknowledged the U.S. "has the power to destroy anything and everything," but insisted, "We will never surrender."

The Iranian president also claimed most of the U.S. bases in the region are no longer usable.

Regarding Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who was severely wounded and reportedly disfigured during the first day of the war, the Iranian president said he met with the supreme leader twice and "saw no major challenges with this health."

The supreme leader has not been seen in public since that initial strike.

After a week in which more Republicans have emerged to call for an end to the war in Iran, the Senate failed to adopt a House-passed war powers resolution on Thursday by a vote of 49-50.

Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul and Thom Tillis joined all but one Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman, in voting in favor of the resolution.

Democratic Sen. Angela Alsobrooks did not vote. Democrats would've needed full attendance and five Republicans to vote with them in order for the resolution to pass.
