Trump rejects Iran's ceasefire proposal while denying report of sanctions relief offer
President Trump rejected Iran's latest proposal to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling it unacceptable, while US and Iranian officials continued separate talks with Qatari mediators. Trump denied an Axios report that he was willing to offer sanctions relief and unfreeze Iranian assets in exchange for nuclear concessions, calling it a hoax. Markets reacted to the diplomatic impasse with rising oil prices, higher Treasury yields, and falling stock futures.
