Iran waiting for official US response after Trump rejects Hormuz deal, minister says

BBC World reports: US negotiators have not officially responded to Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the country's foreign minister said, despite President Donald Trump publicly rejecting the offer on Saturday.
