Iran has sent its response to the latest United States ceasefire proposal through Pakistani mediators, seeking negotiations focused on a permanent end to the war across the region, including in Lebanon, where Israel continues military operations against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group. However, US President Donald Trump swiftly rejected Tehran’s position, calling it "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!" without providing further details.
Iranian state television reported that Tehran wants any agreement to include guarantees for regional security and safe maritime navigation. The latest US proposal reportedly included measures aimed at ending the conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and rolling back Iran’s nuclear programme.
