Iran rejects Trump ceasefire terms as U.S. expands Mideast military push

The Trump administration offers Iran a 15-point ceasefire with a 30-day truce and sanctions relief in exchange for U.S. demands, but Iran calls the plan “excessive” and demands an end to all hostilities, sanctions relief, and guarantees on sovereignty and peaceful nuclear energy; the diplomacy is mediated by Pakistan with Egypt and Turkey, even as the Pentagon deploys thousands more troops and ships to the region and Israel continues strikes, keeping global tensions and oil market jitters high.
