A new report indicates that Iran rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal, according to an additional report. The development follows an earlier report that Iran had rejected a proposal conveyed by Iraq.
A new report has emerged indicating that Iran rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal directly, without mediation through Iraq. The report follows an earlier bulletin from The Zioneer at 03:11 Jerusalem time early Friday, which cited a report that Iran had rejected a proposal from President Donald Trump conveyed through Iraq.
On Thursday, July 23, The Zioneer published a series of reports detailing the diplomatic efforts: Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi traveled to Tehran and met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. He then conveyed a ceasefire proposal to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. By Thursday evening, a New York Times report indicated that Iran's leader had rejected the proposal presented by the Iraqi PM. A subsequent report identified the proposal as originating from President Trump.
The rejection of the ceasefire offer comes amid ongoing U.S. strikes on Iranian targets, as The Zioneer has reported. Power outages and explosions have been reported in several Iranian cities in recent days.
The source of the new report of a direct rejection is not yet clear. The claim remains unverified by official sources.
