Ceasefire on life support as Iran submits "stupid" proposal to Trump

Days after Washington floated a proposal aimed at reopening negotiations, Iran on Sunday released a response focused on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, where US ally Israel is fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.

Tehran also demanded compensation for war damage, emphasised its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and called on the United States to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions and remove a ban on Iranian oil sales.

On Monday, Trump also claimed Iran is willing to give the United States "the nuclear dust", referring to Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, and said only China and the US have the capability to retrieve it.
