00:01U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's response to its latest proposal to end the war,
00:08calling it, quote, totally unacceptable in a social media post on Truth Social.
00:13Trump did not elaborate further, but in an earlier post he did accuse Tehran of playing
00:17games with the United States for nearly 50 years. Iran had sent its response to Washington's latest
00:24proposal via Pakistani mediators on Sunday. State television reported that Tehran rejected it as
00:31it insists on war reparations by the U.S., full Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz,
00:37an end to sanctions, and the release of seized Iranian assets.
00:42The failure to come to an agreement marks the latest setback in efforts to resolve the standoff
00:47in the Persian Gulf, which has disrupted shipping and sent energy prices soaring.
00:52Trump has previously threatened to resume full-scale bombing if Iran does not accept an
00:57agreement to reopen the Strait and roll back its nuclear program. And on its end,
01:02Iran warned the United States it would no longer refrain from retaliatory attacks.
