Iran’s foreign ministry rejects US ceasefire demands

Iran's Foreign Ministry has rejected US ceasefire demands, with a spokesman characterizing the conditions as "excessive, unrealistic and unreasonable." The rebuke signals Tehran's unwillingness to accept the terms being proposed by the Trump administration, further complicating diplomatic efforts in a region already marked by escalating tensions. The rejection reflects a broader impasse in negotiations, with each side presenting demands the other views as unacceptable. This deadlock raises the risk of continued military confrontation between the two countries and their respective regional allies.
