POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Iran has reiterated that diplomatic engagement is the sole path to resolving its ongoing tensions with the United States and Israel, following President Donald Trump’s rejection of an Iranian proposal aimed at de-escalating hostilities.

The Iranian delegation presented a peace initiative during the UN General Assembly last week, which was conveyed to U.S. officials through Qatari intermediaries. The plan sought to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt military operations in the region, but Trump dismissed it as insufficient for ending the conflict.
