Iran said Wednesday, Sept. 30, that it had received a U.S. response to its proposal to revive a cease-fire in the Gulf, as the United States withdrew from its remaining bases in neighboring Iraq. The announcement came days after President Donald Trump said he’d rejected the proposal. Iran also urged Americans to vote against Trump’s candidates in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
Cease-fire proposal
The report identifies the proposal as an effort to revive a cease-fire in the Gulf. Iran said it received a U.S. response on Wednesday, Sept. 30, but the report doesn’t give its contents or say whether the response accepted, rejected or changed the proposal. It also doesn’t describe the terms Iran had put forward.
Trump said days earlier that he’d rejected the proposal. The account doesn’t specify when he made that statement, quote his explanation or say whether the U.S. response Iran later received represented a new position. It reports the two developments side by side: Trump’s rejection and Iran’s announcement that a U.S. response had arrived.
The report offers no further details about the cease-fire talks. It doesn’t identify other participants, describe where discussions took place or give a timetable for any next steps. The stated issue is Iran’s proposal to revive a cease-fire in the Gulf.
U.S. withdrawal from Iraq
The announcement also came as the U.S. withdrew from its remaining bases in neighboring Iraq. The report doesn’t state how many bases remained, give a withdrawal schedule or say when the departure would be complete. It doesn’t describe the bases or provide details beyond identifying the withdrawal as under way.
The report places the withdrawal in the same regional context as Iran’s cease-fire proposal. It doesn’t say the withdrawal caused Iran’s announcement or explain whether the two developments were connected. No further details appear about the U.S. presence in Iraq or the circumstances of its departure from the remaining bases.
Iran’s appeal to voters
Iran urged Americans to vote against Trump’s candidates in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. The account doesn’t name the candidates, provide the wording of Iran’s appeal or identify the Iranian officials who made it. It also gives no election date or further detail about the appeal.
The regional context included a warning by Jordan’s King Abdullah II. He addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York on Sept. 22, 2026. The report doesn’t describe the warning’s substance or connect it directly to Iran’s proposal, Trump’s statement or the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.
Those are the reported developments: Iran said it had received a U.S. response to its Gulf cease-fire proposal; Trump had said he rejected that proposal days earlier; and the United States was withdrawing from its remaining bases in Iraq. The account provides no additional terms, response text or withdrawal timetable.
