Iran has rejected a United States proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire, according to a report by Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency. The diplomatic offer was reportedly conveyed on Wednesday through an unnamed intermediary country. The United States has not yet issued any comment regarding the authenticity or details of the proposal.

The report comes at a time of heightened military tension. Citing sources, Fars News stated that Washington had intensified its diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire following an Iranian attack on a US military warehouse located on Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island. Instead of issuing a written response, Iran reportedly continued its military operations as a form of reply.

The report did not specify which country acted as the intermediary or provide further details on the ongoing conflict or diplomatic exchanges.
