Iran rejected the latest ceasefire proposal on Monday, instead saying the country wants a permanent end to the war. The deadline focuses on Tehran opening the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil is shipped in peacetime.

Trump has stressed to Iran that if no deal is reached to reopen the strait, the U.S. would set the country “back to the stone ages.”
