US President Donald Trump stated that there is 'no need to rush' negotiations with Iran, despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding a fragile ceasefire. He criticized Iran's latest counter-proposal to a US-backed peace framework, labeling it as 'garbage' and 'totally unacceptable'. Trump expressed confidence that Iran would eventually cease uranium enrichment and surrender its enriched material to the United States. He noted that the ceasefire, which has halted fighting for over a month, is increasingly unstable and described it as 'on life support'. Iran's proposal reportedly included demands for the end of US military operations in the region and the lifting of the naval blockade on Iranian ports. The conflict, which escalated following US-Israeli strikes on Iran, has had destabilizing effects on the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets, although both sides have yet to indicate a desire to escalate military action.
