Donald Trump has publicly rejected Iran's latest peace proposals, calling them 'stupid' and 'garbage,' and indicated that he did not even finish reading them. He characterized the current ceasefire, which has been in place since April 7, as being on 'massive life support,' suggesting that it has a mere 1% chance of survival. Trump's comments come amidst rising oil prices following Iran's announcement that it will not engage in further negotiations regarding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz unless its conditions are met. In light of the situation, Trump is considering the resumption of US Navy military escorts for commercial vessels in the region to counter Iran's blockade.
