Iran’s chief negotiator says the United States must accept Tehran’s latest peace plan or risk “failure” and the collapse of the Middle East ceasefire. Multiple outlets report the comments come after U.S. President Donald Trump warned the truce is close to breaking down. The war began more than two months ago following US-Israeli strikes on Iran and has since spread across the Middle East, while ceasefire conditions have not stopped unrest or economic disruptions. The reports say both Washington and Tehran have refused to make concessions, and each side threatens renewed fighting even as a return to all-out war has not materialized. Channel NewsAsia and France 24 add details of Iran’s proposal, including an end to fighting on multiple fronts, notably in Lebanon, and a halt to a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Other coverage highlights that uncertainty involving the Strait of Hormuz continues to affect global markets. Overall, the sources describe a standoff over negotiations and competing red lines, with regional instability and market volatility continuing despite the truce.
