Trump says Iran ceasefire 'on life support' after rejecting Tehran's ...
watch nowPresident Donald Trump on Monday said that what remains of the U.S. ceasefire with Iran is "on life support" after Tehran sent an "unacceptable" counter to Washington's proposal to end the war.The state of the month-old truce is "unbelievably weak," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office."I would call it the weakest, right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us — I didn't even finish reading it," Trump said."I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support, where the doctor walks in and says, 'Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living,'" he said.The testy ceasefire began on April 8, on the heels of Trump threatening to destroy Iran's "whole civilization" if no deal was struck. It was originally slated to last just two weeks, but Trump unilaterally extended it on April 21.The ceasefire has been on shaky ground from its earliest days, as each side has accused the other of violating its terms.Trump, in announcing the truce on April 7, said that the agreement was conditioned on Iran immediately reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the vital pathway for global oil shipping that has been virtually closed since the war began.After traffic through the strait failed to pick up to pre-war levels, Trump ordered a U.S. naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman to stop ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports.The ceasefire has failed to stop all attacks in the region. Last week alone, Iran attacked the United Arab Emirates, the U.S. and Iran traded fire in the strait and the Pentagon said it struck two Iran-flagged oil tankers.Trump and U.S. officials insisted last week that the ceasefire remained intact, as the administration awaited a response from Iran to its reported proposal to end the war and set up further talks over Tehran's nuclear program.In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said he received Iran's response. "I don't like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!" he wrote.

Efforts between Washington and Tehran to reach an agreement continue to fall short, fueling concerns of return to war.Donald Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is “on life support,” after dismissing Tehran’s response to a US peace proposal as “stupid.” The US president’s swift rejection of Iran’s response on Sunday has fuelled concerns that the 10-week-old conflict will drag on, and continue to paralyse shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.Referring to the latest proposal, Trump said the ceasefire is “the weakest right now after reading that piece of garbage they sent us.”Recommended Stories list of 3 itemslist 1 of 3Iran says US making ‘unreasonable’ demands in negotiations to end warlist 2 of 3Former Qatar PM: Netanyahu using Iran war to reshape Middle Eastlist 3 of 3‘Unacceptable’: What’s Iran’s peace proposal that Trump has rejected?end of list“I didn’t even finish reading it,” he said. “It’s on life support.”Days after Washington floated a proposal aimed at reopening negotiations, Iran on Sunday released a response focused on ending the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where US ally Israel is fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters.Tehran also demanded compensation for war damage, emphasised its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, called on the United States to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions and remove the ban on Iranian oil sales.Trump also claimed on Monday that Iran is willing to give the United States “the nuclear dust”, referring to Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, and said only China and the US have the capability to retrieve it.Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman defended its proposal, saying that Iranian demands are “reasonable”.“The only thing we have demanded are Iran’s legitimate rights,” Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.The search for an agreement between the US and Iran has so far proved elusive, with Trump threatening a return to war without a series of concessions that Tehran has framed as maximalist and incompatible with its sovereignty. Iranian officials have also expressed a lack of trust in the US, which has previously attacked Iran during periods of negotiation.“There is a cloud of mistrust when it comes to the United States. Iranians are saying that they were already engaged in negotiations not once, but twice, in the last year, when their country faced this unprecedented campaign of airstrikes by the Americans and the Israelis,” Al Jazeera correspondent Tohid Asadi report...
