Trump rejects Iran’s response to US peace prompting concern over conflict

President Trump rejected Iran’s response to the US peace proposal, raising concerns that the ongoing conflict could escalate and endanger the entire Gulf region, including the paralyzed Strait of Hormuz. Iran demanded an end to the war, compensation for damages, and sovereignty over the Strait, while the US dismissed the response due to concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. Trump is expected to discuss the issue with China during a forthcoming summit.
