Iran Rejects Ceasefire Proposal Even Though President Trump Threatens to Destroy Infrastructure

Iran has rejected a proposed ceasefire in its war with the United States and Israel, government media reported on Monday, despite a stern threat from US President Donald Trump to destroy its vital infrastructure.

"Iran has conveyed to Pakistan its response to the American proposal to end the war," the state news agency IRNA said, without disclosing its source or the contents of the US offer, Al Arabiya reported from AFP (7/4).

"In this response - which is outlined in ten points - Iran has rejected the ceasefire and insisted on the need for a definitive end to the conflict," he continued.

It is known that several countries are trying to find a diplomatic solution to end the war that has lasted for 38 days, which was triggered by Israeli and US attacks on Iran.

Earlier, President Trump warned on Sunday that unless Tehran agreed by Tuesday evening to allow free passage for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, he would order an attack on its power plants and bridges.

But IRNA said Tehran had responded with its own demands, including "an end to the conflict in the region, protocols for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, reconstruction, and lifting of sanctions."

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28, which has killed more than 1,340 people to date, including then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

In addition, Iran also restricts the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is one of the veins of global oil and gas transportation.
