Iran rejected the U.S. proposal for a temporary ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, labeling it 'excessively demanding'.
Iran's state media reported the country's rejection of a U.S. ceasefire plan, with President Trump threatening to bomb Iranian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened.
Discrepancies between the English and Farsi versions of Iran's ceasefire plan could undermine President Trump's declaration of victory in the U.S.-Iran agreement.
