Trump rejects Iran's counter-proposal to end the war as 'totally unacceptable'
Iran submitted its response to a US ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators on Sunday, demanding an end to war on all fronts, lifting of US sanctions, unfreezing of assets, and recognition of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump rejected the response as 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE' and accused Iran of 'playing games' for 47 years. Oil prices surged more than 3-4% following the rejection, with Brent crude rising to around $105 per barrel amid concerns the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed.
