President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s response to U.S. proposals aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, labeling it “totally unacceptable.” Iran’s proposal, reportedly sent through Pakistan, called for an immediate ceasefire, the lifting of a U.S. naval blockade, and assurances against further attacks. Despite a ceasefire largely holding since its initiation by the U.S. and Israel in February, tensions remain high. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile must be eliminated before the conflict can truly end. Meanwhile, Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, affecting global oil prices, while the U.S. maintains a blockade on Iranian ports. Trump has expressed confidence that the war will end quickly, but the situation remains complex, with both sides holding firm on their demands.
