The Jerusalem Post reports that Iran offered a 10-day ceasefire proposal to the United States via mediators, but President Trump rejected the offer and said Iran must pay for its actions. The report comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the US-Iran conflict.
The Jerusalem Post reported at 15:02 Jerusalem that Iran placed a 10-day ceasefire proposal before the United States via mediators, and that President Trump rejected the offer, insisting Iran must account for its actions. The report adds a new element to the sequence of claims that have emerged today: earlier at 10:09 Jerusalem, i24NEWS first reported that Tehran initiated the 10-day proposal, with the US demanding a longer truce and a deal on the Strait of Hormuz. Amichai Stein then attributed the offer to Iran's strategic urgency as American strikes expand. The Jerusalem Post itself — in a separate report at 10:09 — said the proposal was conveyed through Qatar, Egypt, Oman, and Pakistan. Later, an Arabic-language channel claimed the proposal was submitted to mediators, not directly to the US, a claim The Zioneer reported at 14:49 Jerusalem. The new Jerusalem Post report is the first to include a direct US rejection.
None of the reports have been independently corroborated. The proposal's existence, terms, and the identity of the mediators remain in dispute between sources. The Zioneer has previously reported that the White House rejected a Qatari ceasefire proposal on Sunday, July 19, and that Iranian media denied a Reuters report of a ceasefire on Monday, July 20. The US has also stated that a 10-day window is insufficient for a final deal.
It remains unclear whether the 10-day ceasefire proposal described in the new report is the same as earlier reported offers, or a separate initiative. No official confirmation has been received from either the US administration, Iranian officials, or the named mediators. The account relies on a single unnamed source cited by the Jerusalem Post.
