Iran answers US ceasefire plan, Trump calls it 'totally unacceptable’

14 Sept 04:44 Key points summarised by AI

Iran rejected the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal, labeling it as surrender and demanding war reparations, full sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to sanctions, and the release of seized assets.
U.S. President Donald Trump swiftly dismissed Iran's response as "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!", accusing Tehran of 'playing games' and threatening to resume hostilities if a deal isn't reached.
Regional tensions escalated with drone attacks reported in Gulf Arab nations, while Iran declared 'full readiness' to protect its nuclear sites, holding significant amounts of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
The strategic Strait of Hormuz remains largely blocked by Iran, prompting U.S. military blockades on Iranian ports and direct confrontations over oil tankers, further rattling global markets.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
