President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest counterproposal to a U.S. peace proposal, describing it in a series of public statements as "totally unacceptable," "unbelievably weak," and a "stupid proposal." The counterproposal was delivered through Pakistan, according to multiple news reports.
Iran's demands, as reported by BBC World, included the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade, recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and compensation for war damage. The proposal was passed on by Pakistani intermediaries.
Trump's rejection was conveyed through several channels. According to NBC News, Trump wrote, "I don't like it– totally unacceptable." GB News reported that Trump, speaking to the media at the White House, called the proposal "unbelievably weak" and compared the deal to someone on "life support." Middle East Eye reported that Trump also referred to the response as a "stupid proposal."
On his Truth Social platform, Trump further addressed Iran's stance. MercoPress reported that Trump wrote Iran had been "playing games" with the United States for 47 years and warned the country would "not be laughing any longer."
The rejection leaves the conflict without a diplomatic resolution, with no further negotiations immediately announced.
