Iran Rejects Toughened US Peace Proposal Amid Ongoing Regional Conflict
Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated that Tehran does not trust the United States and will not agree to terms that do not secure Iranian rights. The statement followed reports that U.S. President Donald Trump sent a revised, tougher peace proposal to the Iranian government. Tensions remain high as the U.S. continues a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Israel expands its ground operations in Lebanon against Iranian proxies, complicating diplomatic efforts to reach a regional settlement.
