Iran’s chief negotiator said on Tuesday Washington must accept Tehran’s latest peace plan or risk the collapse of the Middle East truce, after President Donald Trump warned the ceasefire was near failure. The war, triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran more than two months ago, has destabilised the region and rattled global markets.

Iran’s negotiator is basically giving Trump an ultimatum—accept their peace plan or the truce collapses. Seems like they’re testing how much the US really wants peace.
Trump warned the ceasefire was near failure, and now Iran says the same thing if we don’t accept their plan. Both sides are playing chicken with the region’s stability.
The war started with US-Israeli strikes on Iran over two months ago, and now Iran wants the US to blink first? They must know the global markets can’t take more uncertainty.
I’m tired of these ultimatums. If Iran’s plan is reasonable, why not share the details? Otherwise it’s just more brinkmanship that rattles markets and hurts civilians.
The world seems to have developed selective amnesia when it comes to this crisis. (d397c2)
After two months of strikes and instability, maybe it’s time the US actually listens to Iran’s proposal instead of walking away. The ‘failure’ they warn about would be catastrophic for everyone.
