According to a report in the US “New York Times” on the 23rd, Iranian and Iraqi officials said that Iran rejected a cease-fire proposal handed over by US President Trump through Iraqi Prime Minister Zaidi on the same day. This mediation effort comes at a time when Trump is threatening to restart large-scale combat operations against Iran. According to the report, these anonymous officials said that Zaidi met with Trump at the White House before visiting Iran, but the details of the cease-fire proposal handed over by Zaidi are still unclear. Iranian officials said that this is the only cease-fire plan currently on the negotiation table, but the Iranian government is not interested in shelving the provisional agreement on control of the Strait of Hormuz. The report quoted Iranian Foreign Minister Alagzi as saying that Zaidi shared his “views and impressions” of his Washington trip, but there are enough mediators between Iran and the US. “The problem is not about conveying information. The problem is that America's attitude is illogical, greedy, and controlling.” Earlier, US media reported that Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and other mediators had proposed a 10-day cease-fire to the US and Iran. The Trump administration is studying the possibility of a cease-fire and is also preparing for an all-out war. Since this month, the tension between the US and Iran has continued to escalate. The US military not only attacked Iranian military targets, but also bombed Iran's infrastructure such as railways, bridges, and seaports. Iran, on the other hand, carried out retaliatory attacks by firing ballistic missiles and drones at US military facilities in the Middle East.
