Iran-Israel War: The conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran entered its 38th day on April 6, showing no signs of slowing. On Monday, Iran rejected US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire proposal, which sought to end the month-long hostilities before his deadline for reopening the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz.
According to Reuters, quoting Iran’s state-owned Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Tehran’s response contains ten points. These include ending regional conflicts, establishing a safe passage protocol for the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions, and committing to reconstruction efforts.
"In this response -- set out in ten points -- Iran... has rejected a ceasefire and insists on the need for a definitive end to the conflict," IRNA reported.
Iran communicated its position to Washington through Pakistan on Monday. The response emphasizes its demands for an end to all regional conflicts, formalised rules for safe navigation through the Strait, the lifting of international sanctions, and reconstruction commitments.
The US, however, stated that President Trump has not yet approved any draft ceasefire deal.
Trump: Tuesday Deadline To Make A Deal With Iran Is Final
In response to Iran’s 10-point plan, US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the Tuesday deadline he set for Iran to reach a deal is final, adding that Iran’s proposal was significant but not sufficient.
"They made a proposal, and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's not good enough," Trump said of Iran.
"It could end very quickly, the war, if they do what they have to do. They have to do certain things. They know that; they've been negotiating, I think, in good faith," he said while attending the annual White House Easter event.
Trump has repeatedly warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime passage responsible for more than one-fifth of global energy supplies. He has threatened to target Iranian energy facilities and civilian infrastructure if the deadline is not met, which he set for Tuesday, 8:00 pm ET (Wednesday, 5:30 am IST).
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” Trump said.
