Iran FM Rejects Ceasefire Framing; Trump Rebuffs Omani and Chinese Mediation

Iran's foreign minister stated Tehran is 'not seeking a ceasefire' but insists the war must end and that negotiations can only begin after US-Israeli strikes stop. Trump rejected mediation attempts from Oman and China, both of which had been pursuing backchannel talks. China's FM said Beijing's goal is to promote an immediate ceasefire and push all parties back to dialogue, while Oman expressed disappointment that 'active and serious negotiations' were abandoned.
