Iran has officially rejected a ceasefire proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump, asserting its own set of conditions for any cessation of hostilities.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, an Iranian government official speaking to Press TV stated that Tehran has firmly communicated to Washington that the timeline and terms for ending the conflict will be determined solely by Iran.
“Iran will not allow the US President to dictate when the war ends. Iran will conclude the conflict at a time of its own choosing and only when its conditions are fully met,” the official told Press TV. The representative further emphasized that Tehran intends to maintain its defensive posture and deliver "heavy blows" to the enemy until its demands are satisfied. According to the official, Washington has attempted to initiate negotiations through various diplomatic channels, but Tehran views the current proposals as "excessive" and inconsistent with the United States' performance on the battlefield.
This development comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts to stabilize the Middle East. Historically, relations between Washington and Tehran have been characterized by cycles of sanctions and proxy confrontations, particularly regarding maritime security and regional influence. The rejection of US President Donald Trump's initiative underscores the deep-seated mistrust between the two nations and suggests a prolonged period of geopolitical uncertainty as both sides navigate complex military and diplomatic landscapes.
