Peace deal hopes fade after Trump rejects 'garbage' Iran counterproposal
Tehran rejected a U.S. proposal that would have ended fighting first, while Trump said Iran’s counteroffer put the April 7 ceasefire at risk.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared the April 7 ceasefire with Iran "on life support" after Tehran rejected a U.S. proposal to end hostilities, dismissing the counter-demands as "garbage."
- Tehran's rejected proposal demanded an end to all war fronts, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and an end to the U.S. naval blockade, conditions Trump characterized as unacceptable.
- Brent crude oil futures climbed above $104.50 a barrel on Tuesday as the deadlock kept the Strait of Hormuz largely closed, forcing export cuts and pushing OPEC output to two-decade lows.
- The United States imposed new sanctions Monday on entities accused of facilitating Iranian oil shipments to China, while Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will hold talks in Qatar on navigational safety.
- Less than six months before elections, Trump pledged to suspend federal gasoline taxes, predicting fuel costs would drop once the Iran conflict ends and citing voter concerns over rising prices.
