According to the latest disclosures from sources cited by Reuters, Iran has officially rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal put forward by the Trump administration. Tehran maintains a firm stance, insisting only on a permanent ceasefire and rejecting any phased or temporary truce arrangements.

Iran's core demands are clear: to gain full control of the Strait of Hormuz and to charge transit fees to passing ships over the long term, thereby safeguarding its energy security and strategic interests. It is unwilling to use maritime passage through the strait as a bargaining chip for a temporary ceasefire.
Sources familiar with the matter reveal that Iran's top officials, based on past negotiation experiences, are concerned that the U.S. might use a temporary ceasefire to regroup military forces and then apply further pressure. As a result, their stance has not softened. With only about 12 hours remaining until the deadline set by Trump, multiple mediators are still working to narrow the differences, but the regional situation remains tense, and market risk aversion has sharply increased.
