Washington: President Donald Trump on Monday rejected Iran’s written reply to a U.S. peace proposal, calling the document "garbage" and saying the ceasefire was "on life support" after Tehran insisted on lifting a U.S. naval blockade and other conditions. The written exchange followed a ceasefire that began on Apr. 7 amid a regional conflict that started with Feb. 28 bombings. Officials suspended a short-lived naval escort operation, Project Freedom, for diplomacy earlier this month, while markets reacted: Brent crude climbed above US$107 a barrel on May 12. Tehran demanded immediate ends to fighting across fronts, including in Lebanon, and insisted on sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz; the U.S. plans continued pressure and said talks would press for verifiable concessions in coming days.
