Trump says Iran ceasefire is on 'massive life support'

US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the month-long ceasefire with Iran is "on massive life support" and "unbelievably weak." This comes after Iran presented a counter-offer on Sunday to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump rejected Iran's proposal, deeming it "totally unacceptable" and a "piece of garbage." Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, described Tehran's proposals as "responsible" and "generous," outlining demands that include an immediate end to hostilities, the lifting of the US naval blockade, and guarantees against further attacks.
