Trump declares Iran ceasefire on 'life support' after rejecting Tehran's counterproposal

President Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire is on 'massive life support' after rejecting Iran's counterproposal, calling it 'a piece of garbage.' Iran's response included demands for an end to US naval blockades, compensation for war damage, and guarantees of no further attacks, while the US has demanded major rollbacks of Iran's nuclear program. Trump subsequently traveled to China, where he met with Xi Jinping to discuss the Iran situation, including pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
