Zerohedge: Iran's War Response Rejected by Trump Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions

Summary

President Trump has declared Iran's response to a US peace proposal "totally unacceptable," stating the country has been "playing games" for 47 years. Iran officially submitted its response to Pakistan after renewed exchanges of fire in the Strait of Hormuz. While reports suggest Iran offered to transfer some enriched uranium but rejected dismantling nuclear facilities, Iran has disputed these details. Meanwhile, Iran has issued a stern warning to France and Britain, vowing "decisive and immediate" action if their warships approach the Strait of Hormuz, asserting its sole authority over regional security. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also threatened "heavy attacks" on US bases if Iran's oil tankers or commercial ships face aggression, accusing the US of violating a ceasefire by targeting two Iranian tankers. The situation remains tense, with the odds of a peace deal by the end of May diminishing.
