US-Israel Joint Aggression Escalates as Iran Rejects Ceasefire Amid Hormuz Threats
Iran’s government has publicly rejected an international ceasefire proposal, a decision announced just as the US administration under Donald Trump declared it was significantly ramping up military threats in the Strait of Hormuz.
