U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has rejected efforts by Middle Eastern allies, including Oman, to initiate negotiations aimed at ending the war with Iran. This was reported by Reuters news agency, citing three sources involved in the details. According to two senior Iranian sources, Tehran has also refused any possibility of a ceasefire as long as attacks by the U.S. and Israel have not stopped. A senior Iranian source added that the Revolutionary Guards believe 'if they lose control of the Strait of Hormuz, they will lose the war.'
