Iran rejects ceasefire as deadline nears on Trump hell ultimatum

On Monday, the United States and Iran considered a plan to resolve their conflict, which has lasted for five weeks. Iran expressed its desire for a lasting peace and resisted calls to quickly reopen the Strait of Hormuz under a temporary ceasefire. According to the official IRNA news agency, Iran communicated its reaction to the U.S. proposal through Pakistan, rejecting the idea of a ceasefire and stressing the need for a permanent solution to the war. This response included ten key points, such as resolving regional conflicts, establishing safe passage protocols for the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions, and plans for reconstruction. President Trump has warned that he would unleash severe consequences on Tehran if a deal was not reached by 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT) on Tuesday, which would allow traffic to resume through this crucial route for global energy supplies.
