Iran war: Trump rejects proposal to end conflict
US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal to end the war.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said, "I have just read the response from Iran's so-called 'Representatives.' I don't like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!"
Earlier on Sunday, Tehran had sent a proposal to Washington via mediator Pakistan.
The proposal had demanded an end to the war on all fronts and for sanctions against Tehran to be lifted, according to Iranian state media.
Iran's proposal, which was in response to an earlier plan tabled by the US, had emphasized the need for the US to lift sanctions on Iranian oil for 30 days, as well as demanding an end of the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
Netanyahu warns war with Iran not over yet
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel's war with Iran is not over.
In excerpts of an interview with US broadcaster CBS's "60 Minutes" program, Netanyahu said the war is "not over because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium, that has to be taken out of Iran."
The interview is due to be aired later on Sunday night.
The Israeli leader said that Iran's uranium enrichment facilities still needed to be dismantled.
"We've degraded a lot of it, but all of that is still there and there's work to be done," Netanyahu said.
The prime minister did not provide details on how the US or Israel would remove enriched uranium from Iran, saying only, "You go in and take it out."
"Trump has said to me, 'I want to go in there,' and I think it can be done physically," he said.
He added that Tehran had continued to support its regional proxies, including the Lebanese-based Hezbollah militia, which has been trading fire with Israeli forces in recent days, despite a ceasefire.
Iran rejected US proposal over Trump's 'excessive demands' — state media
Iranian state media have portrayed a US proposal to end the war with Iran as "an attempt to force capitulation."
Accepting the proposal would have amounted to Iran submitting to the "excessive demands" of US President Donald Trump, Press TV said late on Sunday.
Iran's counterproposal, which Trump has rejected as "totally unacceptable," called for an end to the war on all fronts and for the US to pay war reparations.
It also demanded recognition of full Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to US sanctions and the release of seized Iranian assets, Press TV said.
