"Trump emphasized that the Iranian proposal, while significant, was not sufficient to prevent US military action. He stated, 'It's not good enough, but it's a very significant step.'"
"The US President warned that if Tehran did not agree to allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz by the deadline, he would order strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges."
"Iran's diplomatic mission head stated, 'We won't merely accept a ceasefire. We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won't be attacked again.'"
President Trump stated that Iran's proposal to end the war does not meet US demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He set a final deadline for Iran to agree to terms, warning of potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure if they fail to comply. A ceasefire proposal from Pakistan was rejected by Iran, which instead called for a permanent end to hostilities. Iran's proposal included clauses for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and lifting sanctions, but was deemed inadequate by the US.
