Central Message

(Central News Agency Washington, May 11 comprehensive foreign report) US President Donald Trump said today that the US-Iran ceasefire is fragile and "on life support," and criticized Tehran's response to a US peace proposal as "foolish."

According to Reuters, Trump quickly rejected Iran's demands yesterday, raising external concerns that the 10-week conflict could drag on, with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remaining paralyzed.

Speaking about the current state of the ceasefire, Trump said: "After looking at the garbage they sent us, I didn't even finish it. I would say now is the most fragile moment (for the ceasefire)." Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire is "on life support."

Washington recently put forward a proposal aimed at resuming negotiations. Iran responded yesterday, demanding an end to the war on "all fronts," including Lebanon, where Israel continues to fight the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah.

In addition, the Tehran authorities also demanded war reparations, emphasized their sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and called for the US to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions, and lift the ban on Iranian oil sales. (Compiler: Liu Shu-chin) 1150512
