WNAM MONITORING: A White House official said that a proposed 45-day ceasefire between the US and Iran is “one of many ideas” currently under discussion, according to an Axios reporter.
Barak Ravid said on US social media company X that the official told him: “The President (Donald Trump) has not signed off on it. Operation Epic Fury continues.”
He added that Trump will provide further details during a news conference in Washington at 1.00 pm (1700GMT) on Thursday.
Ravid’s remarks came hours after reports suggested that a 45-day ceasefire proposal had been put forward.
Regional tensions in the Middle East have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people so far, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
