Iran said it has rejected the US proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire between both sides, the Fars News Agency said on Friday, citing an unnamed official source.

It’s unclear whether Israel would also have been part of that agreement.

Fars’ source said the US proposal was made on Wednesday through a third country that was not named.

Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump said Iran was the one asking for a ceasefire. Iran has denied that claim.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Pakistan’s efforts to mediate a ceasefire have hit a dead end after Tehran insisted it was unwilling to meet US officials in Islamabad, given what they called unacceptable American demands.
