Hopes for a renewed Iran-US peace or ceasefire agreement fade after Donald Trump rejects an Iranian counterproposal, saying a ceasefire is “on life support.” Multiple outlets report that Trump describes Iran’s stance and demands as “garbage” and signals that Washington’s proposal has not been accepted.
According to the Reuters-based report carried by Al-Monitor, Tehran rejects the US effort to end the conflict and instead adheres to a list of demands presented by Iran. The reports say Trump’s public remarks reflect his view that the remaining conditions are not acceptable to the United States.
RTE also reports that both sides remain far apart, with Tehran holding to its demands while Washington rejects them. News24 adds that the situation contributes to market pressure, reporting oil prices rise amid ongoing disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed.
Across the coverage, the central development is the breakdown of negotiations following Trump’s dismissal of Iran’s proposal and Tehran’s refusal to move away from its stated demands, keeping prospects for a ceasefire uncertain.
