Iran has reiterated its rejection of US ceasefire efforts and a 15-point American peace proposal, instead outlining its own critical conditions for ending the conflict, including demands for war reparations and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, while also claiming to have forced the USS Lincoln to change its position.
