Iran has rejected a proposed ceasefire in its ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel, according to state media reports on Monday, despite fresh threats from US President Donald Trump.
Iran’s official news agency said Tehran had communicated its response to the proposal through Pakistan, outlining its position in a 10-point reply. While details of the US offer were not disclosed, Iran made it clear that it would not accept a truce in its current form, insisting instead on a “definitive end” to the conflict.
The war, now stretching beyond a month, began after coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel on Iranian targets. In response, Iran has launched missile strikes across parts of the Middle East, escalating tensions across the region.
Efforts are ongoing by several countries to broker a diplomatic resolution, but progress remains uncertain.

Over the weekend, President Trump warned that if Iran failed to guarantee free passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening, the US would target key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
In its counter-response, Iran outlined its own conditions for ending the war. These include a complete halt to hostilities across the region, a formal agreement ensuring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, reconstruction efforts, and the removal of international sanctions.
The latest development highlights the widening gap between both sides, raising concerns that the conflict could drag on unless a compromise is reached.
