JAKARTA - President Donald Trump said on Monday that the ceasefire with Iran was "in critical condition," after rejecting Tehran's response to the United States' peace proposal as "stupid."
Trump's quick dismissal of Iran's response on Sunday raised fears that the 10-week-old US-Israeli conflict with Iran would drag on and continue to cripple shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
"I would call it the weakest ever, after reading the garbage document they sent us, I haven't even finished reading it," Trump said of the ceasefire, launching Al Arabiya from Reuters (12/5).
"This is in critical condition," he said.
Days after Washington put forward a proposal aimed at reopening negotiations, Iran on Sunday released a response focused on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, where US ally Israel is fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
Tehran also demands compensation for war damages, stresses its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and calls on the United States to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions, and remove the ban on selling Iranian oil.
A day later, Trump also claimed Iran was willing to give the United States "nuclear dust," referring to Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium, and said only China and the US had the ability to take it.
