Trump: Iran's proposal unacceptable
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest peace proposal as unacceptable after reviewing it. Iran had submitted a 14-point plan to the US, with both sides exchanging views through Pakistani intermediaries regarding ceasefire terms.
Trump told Israeli media that he reviewed Iran's proposal and found it unacceptable. The ongoing negotiations reflect deepening disagreements between the two countries over nuclear arrangements and the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ismail Bekaii said the US side would convey its views on Iran's plan through Pakistan. Diplomatic channels remain open, but significant gaps exist between the two sides on fundamental issues including Iran's nuclear program and sanctions relief.
The Trump administration has signaled the blockade will continue unless Iran meets US demands on its nuclear program. The Hormuz crisis continues to drive global energy prices higher and threaten worldwide economic growth.
