Iran submitted a response to a US ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators on Sunday, but President Trump immediately rejected it on social media as unacceptable. Iran’s state television reported Tehran rejected the US proposal as amounting to surrender, insisting instead on war reparations, full sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to sanctions, and release of seized assets. The rejection marks the latest setback in efforts to resolve the conflict that has disrupted shipping and raised energy prices.
- 🏛️ US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz stated Trump is giving diplomacy “every chance we possibly can before going back to hostilities.”
- 🎯 Washington’s latest proposal included “a deal to end the war, reopen the strait and roll back Iran’s nuclear program.”
- 🚁 Drone attacks recently tested the fragile ceasefire, with the UAE reporting it shot down two drones and blaming Iran, while Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called a ship attack a “dangerous and unacceptable escalation.”
