Trump says Iran ceasefire is on life support after rejecting nuclear offer
President Trump announced that the ceasefire with Iran was on life support after his administration rejected Iran's latest nuclear proposal as garbage, raising the prospect of resumed U.S. airstrikes. The ceasefire had been in nominal effect since late February but Iranian-linked forces continued attacks on Gulf infrastructure throughout the pause. Trump threatened intense bombing of Iranian military and economic infrastructure if Tehran did not offer meaningful concessions on its nuclear program within days.
