Iran has rejected ceasefire terms proposed by the United States, describing the conditions as “excessive” and unacceptable amid ongoing tensions in the region.

According to reports cited by Ynet, Iranian officials dismissed the proposal, insisting that any agreement to halt hostilities must be based on terms that respect the country’s interests and sovereignty.

Sources indicate that the US proposal included a range of conditions tied to security and strategic concerns, which Tehran views as overly demanding and non-negotiable.

The rejection underscores the widening gap between both sides, with neither appearing willing to compromise on key issues. Iranian authorities have maintained that they will determine the framework and timing of any ceasefire independently.

The development comes as hostilities persist across parts of the Middle East, with continued exchanges raising fears of a broader regional escalation.

Analysts warn that the collapse of ceasefire efforts could prolong the conflict and further destabilise global energy markets, especially given the strategic importance of the region to oil supply.

Diplomatic efforts are expected to continue, but prospects for an immediate ceasefire remain uncertain as both sides hold firm to their positions.
