Iran live updates: IRGC says Strait of Hormuz will 'never' revert to pre-war state

Asked about reports of a draft proposal that includes a 45-day ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a White House official told ABC News on Monday, "This is one of many ideas, and POTUS has not signed off on it. Operation Epic Fury continues. President Trump will speak more at 1 p.m."

The Associated Press reported on Monday that the U.S. and Iran had both received a draft proposal calling for a 45-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to facilitate subsequent full peace talks. ABC News has not confirmed the reported plan.

Iran will not accept a ceasefire without "suitable guarantees," a Pakistani security official told ABC News on Monday.

"Any process for a ceasefire without suitable guarantees and assurances would be unacceptable to Iran," the official said, responding to reports that mediators are pushing for a ceasefire to halt the U.S.-Israel war against Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that a 15-point peace plan proposed by the U.S. to end the current conflict is unacceptable to Tehran.

Answering a question from the state-run news agency IRNA about reports of a new ceasefire plan during his weekly presser, Baghaei said, "A few days ago, they put forward proposals through intermediaries, and the 15-point U.S. plan was reflected through Pakistan and some other friendly countries."

"Right then we stated that such proposals are both extremely ambitious, unusual and illogical and not acceptable to us in any way," he said.

"Regardless of that proposal, we prepared the set of demands that we had and have based on our own interests and our own considerations," Baghaei said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Naval Command said in a post to X overnight that the Strait of Hormuz "will never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel."

"The navy of the IRGC is in the process of completing the operational preparations for the announced plan of Iran's officials for the new order in the Persian Gulf," the statement said.
