April 3 (Reuters) - An unnamed source told Iran's semi-official Fars news agency on Friday that Tehran had rejected a U.S. proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire.

The source said the proposal was made on Wednesday through another country, which was not named.

There was no immediate comment or confirmation from the U.S.
