Trump Backs 45-Day Ceasefire Plan as ‘Significant Step’ but Warns Iran on Nuclear Ambitions
US President Donald Trump described a proposed 45-day truce with Iran as a “significant step” in the ongoing conflict. He spoke at the White House, noting that talks continue through intermediaries but insisting that Tehran must never acquire nuclear weapons. Iran formally rejected the temporary ceasefire, according to a report by the state news agency via Pakistan. Instead, Tehran offered a 10-point framework calling for a permanent end to hostilities, regional de-escalation, safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and post-war reconstruction guarantees. Mediators from Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey put forth the ceasefire proposal, which Washington says remains under consideration. Trump, however, set a deadline for agreement and warned that US forces could target key Iranian infrastructure if no deal is reached. He also defended earlier warnings about reopening the Strait of Hormuz to underline the urgency of diplomacy.
