TEHRAN/WASHINGTON - Iran has rejected a US-proposed 15-point peace plan, calling instead for a permanent end to the conflict, the official news agency IRNA reported Monday.

Tehran delivered its response via Pakistan in a 10-point document, citing past experiences as the reason it would not accept a ceasefire.

The response outlines Iran's demands, including ending regional conflicts, establishing safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, reconstructing war-affected areas, and lifting international sanctions.

The IRNA claimed the text was presented following recent developments in Iran's western and central regions and the unsuccessful outcome of a US heliborne operation, with US President Donald Trump extending a previously set deadline again and adjusting earlier threats.

In a press conference on Monday, Trump called Iran's 10-point response a "significant step" but said it was "not good enough."

"It's a significant proposal; it's a significant step. It's not good enough, but it's a very significant step," Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn, noting that intermediaries "are negotiating now."

Meanwhile, Trump said that the Tuesday deadline he has set for Iran to make a deal is final, saying that the president himself is the only person who can determine if there's a ceasefire.

Trump on Monday doubled down on threats against Iran as his Tuesday deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, saying he had even "worse" options than his previous threats to strike Iran's power plants and bridges if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached.

Trump said Monday that the US, not Iran, should charge tolls on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

"What about us charging tolls?" Trump said at a press conference at the White House. "I'd rather do that than let them (Iranians) have them."

Trump stressed that reopening the strait must be part of any deal to end the war with Iran.

"We have to have a deal that's acceptable to me, and part of that deal is going to be we want free traffic of oil and everything," Trump said.
