Israeli Official: Trump Rejected an Iranian Request for a Complete Ceasefire Until Their Response is Given

SadaNews - Amid the ongoing escalation and indirect negotiations, Israeli media confirmed today, Saturday, citing an official, that U.S. President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian request for a complete ceasefire until their response is provided.

The Israeli official added that Iran asked Trump for a 7-day extension to formulate a response that includes all its leadership.

The U.S. administration had been awaiting Iran's response to the 15-point peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war in the Middle East, as reported by CBS yesterday, Friday.

Sources clarified that the Iranian response to the U.S. proposal is considered a decisive step in the current negotiations.

A knowledgeable source also confirmed to Reuters that an Iranian response to the U.S. peace proposal was expected to be released yesterday, Friday.

The source explained that U.S. President Donald Trump and senior White House officials were informed through intermediaries that the Iranian response would likely arrive on Friday.

The Iranian response is viewed as an important indicator of the direction of escalation or de-escalation, given the continued tensions between Washington and Tehran.
