Trump Calls Iran's Proposal “Totally Unacceptable”


(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has strongly dismissed Iran’s latest response to Washington’s peace initiative, describing it as “totally unacceptable” after reviewing Tehran’s counterproposal.

According to Trump’s statement on social media, he reacted negatively to what he said were Iranian representatives’ terms, signaling continued deadlock in negotiations aimed at ending the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

While the full details of Iran’s position have not been officially released, media reports indicate that Tehran focused its response on ending hostilities and obtaining guarantees against renewed military action. However, it reportedly avoided accepting the nuclear-related conditions demanded by the United States.

Trump previously described Iran’s reply as “inappropriate,” though he did not provide specifics at the time. His administration continues to insist on immediate restrictions to Iran’s nuclear program alongside broader security concessions.

Iran’s reported counterproposal also called for de-escalation across multiple regional fronts and linked progress on negotiations to broader security developments, including tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials have maintained that the waterway remains a critical strategic asset and have rejected what they view as pressure-based diplomacy.

The exchange reflects ongoing friction between the two sides amid fragile ceasefire conditions and continued uncertainty over whether diplomatic efforts can produce a lasting agreement or further escalation.
