The Heat: Middle East Conflict | US rejects Iran's proposal

Over the weekend, the Iranian government sent its response to the US proposal to end the war but it was met with rejection. In a social media post, US President Donald Trump said Iranian demands were “totally unacceptable."

Meanwhile, the war against Iran is taking a big economic toll in the United States. Soaring fuel prices, rising borrowing costs and disruptions to the global supply chain are being felt across the country. #Heat #Iran #US #Trump #MiddleEast #War
