President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest ceasefire response Sunday, calling it “totally unacceptable,” according to the Associated Press. The setback comes as tensions continue to disrupt shipping and energy markets in the Persian Gulf.

Recent developments:

• Iranian state media said Tehran rejected U.S. terms it viewed as surrender
• Iran demanded sanctions relief, war reparations, and control over the Strait of Hormuz
• The White House proposal sought to reopen shipping lanes and curb Iran’s nuclear activity
• Trump accused Tehran of “playing games” for decades

Key context:

• The UAE reported shooting down two drones allegedly linked to Iran
• Qatar condemned a ship attack near its waters as a threat to regional trade
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran’s enriched uranium remains a major concern
• Russia renewed its offer to remove Iranian uranium stockpiles for negotiations

The report said both Washington and Tehran remain publicly defiant despite continued diplomatic efforts. Markets and regional allies are closely watching whether talks collapse or move toward another military escalation.
