Iran rejects latest cease-fire proposal as Trump considers ‘massive attack’: report
Victor Nava / NEW YORK POST
Iran reportedly rejected a new
cease-fire deal Thursday that was presented by Iraq’s prime minister on behalf of President Trump.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi – fresh off a White House visit and Oval Office meeting
with Trump – brought the proposed deal with him to Tehran and presented
it to top Iranian officials, who refused to entertain the proposal,
according to the New York Times.
The terms of the rejected truce are unclear, but Iranian officials
described it as the “only offer on the table” and a “temporary deal”
that did not resolve the question of who would control the Strait of
Hormuz, the outlet reported.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Tehran’s lead negotiator
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were among
those who met with al-Zaidi and Iraq’s delegation.
