Trump rebuffs ceasefire push as Iran war enters deeper phase
Key points from this report

Ceasefire and Diplomacy

President Donald Trump's administration has rejected attempts by Middle Eastern partners to open diplomatic talks aimed at ending the war with Iran, according to the Reuters report you supplied. The account says Iran has also ruled out a ceasefire while U.S. and Israeli strikes continue, leaving both sides entrenched as the conflict enters a more dangerous stage.

The report says the widening war has already caused heavy civilian casualties, mostly in Iran, while the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted a major share of global oil shipments. It also says U.S. strikes on Iran's Kharg Island oil export hub underlined Washington's determination to sustain military pressure even as the economic impact spreads beyond the battlefield.
