Iranian Foreign Minister warns of 'doomsday war' following US ceasefire rejection
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi declared that Iran is prepared for a "doomsday war" after US President Donald Trump rejected a seven-day truce proposal intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the escalation in rhetoric, both sides maintain a standoff. Iran continues to assert control over the Strait, while the US military maintains its presence and has not ruled out further strikes before the US midterm elections.
