By the media: 10 days of ceasefire proposal by the Iraqi side, Trump asked Iran to “pay”
On 21 July, according to the Jerusalem Post, two sources revealed that Tehran had been the first to propose a 10-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which was being promoted by the facilitator, underscoring the urgency of Tehran's urgent search for a ceasefire. According to the two sources, the 10-day ceasefire was aimed at reaching a settlement on the Strait of Hormuz. The mediation, which included senior officials from Qatar, Egypt, Oman and Pakistan, had submitted the proposal to the United States and had added more to the talks with Washington and Tehran. One idea was to open a “transit corridor” in the Strait of Hormuz, which would allow the safe passage of merchant ships. According to sources, while the United States is currently requesting an extension of the ceasefire, Washington insists on reaching at least partial agreement on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz before the ceasefire enters into force and will finalize the remaining details during the proposed 10-day moratorium. According to sources, at least some of the Trump government officials described Iran's proposal as “irrational” and “irrational”. A United States official stated that Trump was working to make Iran “pay the price” for violations of the memorandum of understanding and for the deaths of United States military personnel. Kim Xian
