Iran's Ceasefire in Jeopardy as Trump Dismisses Peace Proposal

Buzzline

The delicate ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is facing significant pressure after President Trump labeled Tehran's peace initiative as "completely unacceptable" and cautioned that the truce is "on life support." Reports from U.S. military sources indicate that Iran has reestablished operational capability at 30 of its 33 missile sites in Hormuz, with its missile reserves still around 70 percent of their pre-conflict levels. Experts caution that a new wave of military action could break out within days.
