Iran has rejected a proposed 45‑day ceasefire offered by U.S. and regional mediators that included reopening the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil route — unless broader conditions are met. Tehran is instead demanding a permanent end to the war, lifting of sanctions, safe passage guarantees, and reconstruction assurances.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated a hard ultimatum:
• He insists the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened by a set deadline or the U.S. will intensify strikes, including threats to hit Iranian power plants and bridges.
• Trump has repeatedly warned Tehran that failure to comply will result in severe consequences as the conflict continues into its sixth week.
Iran has responded defiantly, warning of “devastating and widespread” retaliation if further U.S. attacks occur, and dismissing the U.S. threats as reckless rhetoric that could ignite wider regional chaos.
Key Context:
📌 The dispute centers on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply normally transits — its closure has already caused major market disruptions.
📌 Oil prices and global energy markets are highly sensitive to these developments.
