Description
Iran has rejected a proposed truce in its war with the United States and Israel, state media reported on Monday, despite the stark threat by US President Donald Trump to destroy its vital infrastructure.
"Iran has conveyed to Pakistan its response to the American proposal to end the war," the news agency IRNA said, without revealing what the offer contained.
"In this response - set out in ten points – Iran has rejected a ceasefire and insists on the need for a definitive end to the conflict."
On Sunday, Trump delivered an expletive-laden ultimatum to Iran via Truth Social.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
US-Israeli strikes on Monday killed Iran's Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief, who earlier this year had been sanctioned by the US for his role in suppressing anti-government protests.
Major General Majid Khademi, who, according to a statement by the Guards was killed in an airstrike at dawn, was one of several senior figures within the force to be killed so far in the war.
Earlier, Israel said it had struck Iran's largest petrochemical facility in Assaluyeh on Iran's Gulf coast, where local media reported multiple explosions.
Iran's National Petrochemical Company said it was assessing the damage after a fire was brought under control at the plant, state media reported.
