Iran rejected a ceasefire framework proposed by the US ahead of a five-week conflict, stating negotiations cannot occur under ultimatums or threats. Tehran argued that previous US demands, including a 15-point plan, were excessive. Iran clarified that asserting its legitimate demands is not a compromise.
Iran rejected the proposed ceasefire with the US, demanding clear guarantees against future hostilities. Tehran refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a peace plan offered by Pakistan. US President Donald Trump urged Iran to reopen the Strait, threatening strikes on energy infrastructure if they refuse.
The White House stated that the 45-day ceasefire proposal between the US and Iran is not a formally approved plan. It is merely one of several ideas and has not been approved by President Trump. A US official stressed that the proposal remains in the conceptual stage.
Joint US and Israeli strikes targeted Iran's largest petrochemical complex, with Iran stating the situation is under control. Pakistan proposed a ceasefire, but Tehran remains resistant to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The escalating Middle East conflict threatens supply chains, including fertilizer production in Europe.
Israel attacked Iran's largest petrochemical complex, South Pars, in response to threats from US President Donald Trump. The strikes severely damaged Iran's petrochemical export capacity, dealing a major economic blow to the regime. While military conflict continues, discussions about a ceasefire mediated by regional powers are also underway.
A 45-day truce plan has emerged between the US and Iran, mediated by countries like Pakistan. The proposal centers on an immediate halt to attacks and reopening the Strait of Hormuz for trade. However, due to a lack of trust and ongoing strikes, the chances of a ceasefire remain uncertain.
Iran called the US 15-point peace plan 'extremely ambitious and illogical,' maintaining a hardline stance. While a new ceasefire proposal mediated by Pakistan is under discussion, Iran warned that negotiations based on US threats are impossible. These developments suggest a potential escalation in the volatile situation in West Asia.
Israel struck a key petrochemical plant at Iran's South Pars gas field, killing two Revolutionary Guard commanders. This attack challenges a proposed 45-day ceasefire just as President Trump's ultimatum looms over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran blames the US and Israel for the strike and maintains an incompatible stance toward negotiations.
The US and Iran are discussing terms for a possible 45-day ceasefire with regional mediators involved. Although the chances of an agreement are low, it is the last attempt to prevent serious escalation. The US has prepared plans for massive strikes on Iranian energy facilities, while Iran has suggested retaliatory strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure.
A 45-day ceasefire proposal is being discussed amid US and Zionist aggression against Iran, but it is criticized as an incomplete and one-sided plan. This proposal reflects a deep-rooted US policy view that frames negotiation as dictating demands. Historically, such ceasefires are seen not as an end to conflict, but as entering a gray zone of 'neither war nor peace.'
