Iran rejected the latest ceasefire proposal and instead said it wanted a permanent end to the war, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s ultimatum loomed within hours. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (April 6, 2026) that the U.S. had studied a proposal for a 45-day ceasefire in the Iran war, a move he called a “very significant step”. He also said ‌that Iran’s ⁠proposal was significant ‌but not good enough. Earlier, the White House informed that Mr. Trump had “not signed off” on the proposal and is continuing the war. The attack came after Donald Trump issued a threat to Iran that it must reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
