US rejects Iran's counter proposals to end the war

Newsday

Available for 29 days

Sources in Iran, quoted by the semi-official news agency Tasnim, said Mr Trump's reaction didn't "matter at all" and that Iran would only draft plans for the rights of the Iranian nation. One of the American passengers repatriated from the hantavirus-struck cruise ship has tested positive, and a second person has shown mild symptoms. The British Prime minister Keir Starmer will promise bolder action to tackle "big challenges" facing the country, as he battles to persuade his MPs not to ditch him as Labour leader. So is he safe for now? (Photo: Iranians walk next to a anti-US and Israel mural in a street in Tehran. Credit: Abedin Taherkenareh/EPA-EFE)
