Trump Calls Iran's Proposal To End War“Unacceptable”

2026-05-04 02:02:57

(MENAFN- Khaama Press) U.S. President Donald Trump said he has reviewed Iran's proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict but described it as“unacceptable,” signaling continued deadlock between Washington and Tehran over potential de-escalation efforts.

According to Anadolu Agency, Trump told reporters on Sunday, May 3, that he had examined the Iranian proposal but rejected its terms, without providing further details on the specific points of disagreement. His remarks came a day after he indicated that Washington would soon assess Tehran's plan, while simultaneously expressing skepticism about its intentions.

The latest comments reflect renewed tensions following earlier signals from Trump suggesting openness to reviewing Iran's approach, though he maintained a hardline stance, accusing Tehran of failing to“pay the price for its actions over the past 47 years,” in reference to longstanding U.S.-Iran hostilities.

The diplomatic backdrop to the latest exchange includes reports from Iranian media that Tehran submitted a detailed 14-point response to a U.S. proposal through a Pakistani intermediary. The reported communication is said to outline conditions for reducing tensions and ending hostilities.

Al Jazeera also reported that Iran has put forward a phased plan aimed at de-escalation and a potential end to the conflict, transmitted to Washington via Pakistan, and structured around three main stages intended to establish a framework for long-term peace.
