President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran's response to US proposals to end the war as "totally unacceptable".
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency said Tehran's proposal, sent via Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, included an immediate end to the war on all fronts, a halt to a US naval blockade and guarantees of no further attacks on Iran.
A ceasefire meant to facilitate talks to end the war launched by the US and Israel in February has been largely observed, despite occasional exchanges of fire.
Earlier this week, Trump repeated that the war in Iran will be "over quickly"<\/a>.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium must be "taken out" before the war against Iran can be considered over.
"There's still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled," Netanyahu said in an excerpt of an interview due to air on CBS's '60 Minutes' show.
On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian did not directly reference the proposal but said: "We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat."
Trump posted on Truth Social: "I have just read the response from Iran's so-called 'Representatives.' I don't like it – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE."
US news outlet Axios reported<\/a> that the one-page, 14-point US memorandum includes provisions such as a suspension on Iranian nuclear enrichment, the lifting of sanctions, and restoring free transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
It cited two US officials and two other sources – all unnamed – whom it described as briefed on the issues. These sources were reported as saying that many of the terms laid out in the memo would be contingent on a final agreement being reached.
Iran has continued to block the Strait of Hormuz – leading to a rise in world oil prices.
The US, for its part, has been enforcing a blockade of Iranian ports to exert pressure on Tehran to agree to its terms – a move that has infuriated Iran.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Iran warned its neighbours about complying with US sanctions.
Military spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz would face "severe consequences" if they did not co-operate with Tehran first, Irna news agency reported.
Akraminia said Americans "will never be able to turn this vast expanse in the northern Indian Ocean into a real blockade by covering it with their fleet".<\/p>\n

Tehran has leveraged its effective control over the waterway – through which around a fifth of the world's oil and natural gas usually flows – in the war, which began with US and Israeli strikes on 28 February.
It has warned – and in some instances attacked – vessels trying to cross the strait.
The US has a significant military presence across the Gulf, with bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman.
It was announced on Saturday that the British Royal Navy was sending a warship to the Middle East, where it could join an international mission to safeguard shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who together with French President Emmanuel Macron is championing the shipping mission, has said it would only take place once fighting in the region ends.
In response, Iran on Sunday warned of a "decisive and immediate response" to any French or British deployments in the strait.
Macron then said that France had "never envisaged" a naval deployment but rather a security mission that would be "co-ordinated with Iran".
Iran has also retaliated against Arab allies of the US in the Gulf.
The UK's Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) – which monitors international shipping routes – said a bulk carrier had been "hit by an unknown projectile" about 23 nautical miles (43km) north-east of Doha in Qatar, causing a small fire but no casualties.
Iran's Fars news agency later cited an unidentified source as saying that vessel had been "sailing under the US flag and belonged to the United States".
Also on Sunday, Kuwait said drones had entered its airspace and that the military had "dealt with them".
Hours later, the UAE said its air defences had intercepted two drones coming from Iran.
Defence ministers from more than 40 nations will meet on Monday to discuss UK-led plans to protect shipping in the strait.
John Healey and his French counterpart Catherine Vautrin will co-chair the meeting, where the coalition partners are expected to outline how they might police maritime traffic once hostilities cease.
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on 6 May that if Iran did not agree to a deal, "the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before".
The Strait of Hormuz trade route remains effectively shut, disrupting the global energy shipments.
Iranian authorities granted human rights activist Narges Mohammadi bail amid growing concern over her poor health in prison.
Iranian authorities have imposed an internet ban but using trusted sources, special correspondent Fergal Keane hears from those traumatised by conflict and government repression.
A dissident in Tehran says she feels helpless and under immense psychological pressure.
