Trump Rejects 45-Day Ceasefire Plan in Iran – Reports

U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he will not endorse a plan that calls for a 45-day ceasefire in Iran. This proposal was crafted by international mediators and sent to both the United States and Iran. The information regarding Trump's stance was reported by various media outlets, including a piece published by 'European Truth' referencing CNN.

According to reports, the ceasefire agreement is viewed as a last-ditch effort to halt potential large-scale strikes by the United States on Iran's energy infrastructure and critical systems. Trump has repeatedly issued threats of massive attacks if Iran does not unblock the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil transportation.

The White House has confirmed that it received the document outlining the ceasefire plan; however, they emphasized that President Trump did not approve it. A representative from the administration remarked, 'This is one of many ideas,' adding that the U.S. military operation in Iran continues at full capacity. This indicates that the Trump administration has no intention of reducing its military presence in the region, despite attempts at peaceful resolution.

It is anticipated that Donald Trump will make a statement regarding the situation in Iran on Monday at 1:00 PM Washington time (8:00 PM Kyiv time) during a press conference at the White House. This announcement may contain crucial information about the United States' next steps in the region and its strategy concerning Iran.

International mediators, including Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, have been trying to facilitate negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. However, indirect talks that took place last week have hit a deadlock, raising concerns about the future developments in the situation.

The latest proposal was sent to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Hopes that the 45-day ceasefire could lead to negotiations for a permanent end to the war remain, yet given Trump's position, the prospects appear uncertain.

As a result, the situation in Iran remains tense, and the international community is closely monitoring the developments, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict that could prevent further escalation of violence.
