Iran sent its response to the latest US proposal to end the Iran war via Pakistani mediators. However, US President Donald Trump quickly rejected it in a social media post, calling it "totally unacceptable."
This, in the latest setback to efforts to resolve the standoff in the Persian Gulf that has throttled shipping and sent energy prices soaring.
US President Donald Trump wasn't impressed with Iran's response to Washington's latest proposal to end the war in the Middle east.
The US President said: "I have just read the response from Iran's so-called representatives, I don't like it, totally uncacceptable."
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency said Tehran rejected the latest US proposal as tantamount to surrender, calling instead for an end to the war and the lifting of the naval blockade in its response to the draft plan.
It also demands a 30-day window for rescinding US sanctions on Iranian oil sales, and the release of Iran's frozen assets following the preliminary agreement.
The US had proposed an end to fighting before starting talks on more contentious issues, including Iran's nuclear program.
Following Trump's rejection of its demands, Tehran said it believed its proposal to end the war was "generous and responsible."
Oil prices jumped by more than 3.5% on news of the continued deadlock that leaves the Strait of Hormuz largely closed.
Sporadic flare-ups in fighting around the strait in recent days have tested a ceasefire that has paused all-out warfare since it took effect in early April. It is not clear what fresh diplomatic or military steps may be ahead.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Iran's military said that the country's forces were ready to protect nuclear sites where uranium is stored.
The United Nations nuclear agency says Iran has more than 440 kilogrammes of uranium that is enriched up to 60% purity, a short, technical step from weapons-grade levels.
The majority of Iran's highly enriched uranium is likely still at its Isfahan nuclear complex, international Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi told The Associated Press last month.
The Isfahan facility was bombarded by US-Israeli airstrikes in the 12-day war last year, and faced less intense attacks in this year's war.
