00:00Iran has warned European countries on Monday against sending warships to the Strait of Hormuz.
00:06Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bagheye argued that any European involvement
00:11would only push energy prices higher and create additional complications to an already delicate
00:17situation. On Sunday, US President Donald Trump slammed Iran's response to his latest
00:23ceasefire proposal, calling it quote, totally unacceptable. According to reports, Tehran
00:30proposed an initial halt to hostilities linked to easing maritime restrictions, which would be
00:34followed by a 30-day period of nuclear discussions. Tehran has reportedly rejected an outright
00:40dismantling of its nuclear infrastructure, but has instead suggested diluting part of its highly
00:45enriched uranium and transferring remaining stockpiles to a third country. They also agreed
00:51to pausing enrichment activity, albeit for a much shorter duration than Washington had
00:56proposed. At the core of its demands, Iran stood firm, demanding the release of its frozen
01:02assets, an end to the US naval blockade of its ports, and reparations for damages caused
01:08by US-Israeli strakes, all of which they deemed reasonable.
01:33Iran added that Lebanon, which has been the target of heavy Israeli attacks, must also be included in
01:40any ceasefire arrangement, calling it a red line for them.
