President Donald Trump has described a proposed ceasefire deal with Iran as “significant” but insufficient, as his deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz approaches, reported by CNBC.
According to the report, Trump acknowledged progress in negotiations but said the proposal does not meet U.S. expectations.
The report said the ceasefire plan, under discussion with regional mediators, is part of last-minute efforts to halt the five-week conflict.
President Trump says Iran has made a "significant proposal" but it's "not good enough," as a diplomatic effort is underway to avoid a major escalation in war.

However, a White House official confirmed that Trump has not approved the proposal and that military operations continue.
Trump has warned that failure to reopen the Strait by Tuesday evening could trigger strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges. His remarks signal continued pressure on Tehran despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Negotiations remain active but uncertain, with no clear breakthrough. The situation leaves the region on edge as the deadline nears and the risk of escalation grows.
