Trump Declares Ceasefire on "Massive Life Support" After Rejecting Iranian Proposal

Efforts to secure a lasting peace between Washington and Tehran have reached a critical impasse, with President Donald Trump declaring the current ceasefire to be on "massive life support" following his rejection of Iran’s latest proposal. Characterizing Tehran's response as "totally unacceptable," the U.S. administration has warned of a potential return to full-scale military action, even as mediators in Islamabad struggle to keep diplomatic channels open. This breakdown has sent shockwaves through global energy markets, pushing oil prices toward $100 a barrel and intensifying fears of a prolonged conflict that could further destabilize the Middle East and the global economy.
