Trump rejects Iran's ceasefire proposal

US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian ceasefire proposal, according to The Wall Street Journal, as Washington and Tehran continue negotiations through mediators. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran proposed a seven-day plan to end the war, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and starting talks on Iran's nuclear program after fighting ends, and revealed a meeting he described as productive with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in New York. Washington maintains economic pressure and a naval blockade and doubts Iran's readiness to meet US demands.
