What happened

President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to end the months-long war as “totally unacceptable” without sharing details, even as a key Republican leader urged him to consider the “military option”.

Why it matters

Trump received the Iranian proposal on Sunday (May 10, 2026) amid hopes that it could lead to a breakthrough to end the war with Iran that began on February 28, blocking the key sea route for global oil supplies, leading to fuel shortages in several countries.
