Iran reportedly rejected a new cease-fire deal Thursday that was presented by Iraq\u2019s prime minister on behalf of President Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi \u2013 fresh off a White House visit and Oval Office meeting with Trump \u2013 brought the proposed deal with him to Tehran and presented it to top Iranian officials, who refused to entertain the proposal, according to the New York Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The terms of the rejected truce are unclear, but Iranian officials described it as the \u201conly offer on the table\u201d and a \u201ctemporary deal\u201d that did not resolve the question of who would control the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Tehran\u2019s lead negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were among those who met with al-Zaidi and Iraq\u2019s delegation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On state-run TV, Araghchi said al-Zaidi shared his \u201cviews and impressions\u201d from his trip to Washington, but argued that adding another mediator to the mix wasn\u2019t necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is not passing messages,\u201d Araghchi said, according to the Times. \u201cThe problem is America\u2019s outlook, which is illogical, greedy and controlling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rejection of the cease-fire deal comes as US forces conducted airstrikes on Iran for a 13th straight night and Trump weighs launching a \u201cmassive attack\u201d to pressure the regime back to the negotiating table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am considering a massive attack. Bigger than anything we have ever had before. I am close to making a decision. We are fully prepared for it,\u201d the president told Israel\u2019s Channel 12 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He added that Israel would join the US in the operation \u201cin two minutes\u201d if he asked, but clarified that \u201cwe don\u2019t need anybody\u201d to launch the potential escalation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US airstrikes Thursday targeted Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities, communication networks, coastal surveillance sites and maritime capabilities \u201cto further diminish the threat Iran poses to civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d according to US Central Command.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe international waterway remains open for transit despite recent attacks from Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,\u201d the combatant command wrote on X. \u201cCommercial vessels continue to freely navigate the strait with US military support.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
