(SeaPRwire) – The US president says Tehran’s proposed path to de-escalation is not acceptable
US President Donald Trump has turned down a counterproposal from Iran regarding a peace plan that was initially delivered through Pakistani intermediaries.
This exchange has led to a stalemate, with both sides showing no indication of compromise. A fragile ceasefire halted active combat last month, yet Washington and Tehran are still using economic pressure to extract concessions.
Iran presented its 14-point plan late last Thursday, reaffirming its terms for resolving the conflict, according to the Iranian news outlet Tasnim. In a Sunday interview with Israel’s Kan News, Trump stated he had examined the proposal and deems it unacceptable.
Trump had previously suggested this position on social media, stating that Iran “has not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.”
The American proposal, reportedly a nine-point plan, requested a two-month extension of the ceasefire. Iran, however, is said to demand that the conflict be resolved within a 30-day period.
The crisis in the Persian Gulf started in late February following a joint US-Israeli operation that involved targeted assassinations of Iranian leaders and a bombing campaign intended to overthrow the government. Tehran answered with retaliatory measures, such as attacks on nations hosting US bases and interference with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. During the ceasefire, Trump implemented a blockade of Iranian ports, despite global supply issues compelling the US to adopt expensive actions to control rising oil prices.
Iran’s demands include assurances against future attacks, reparations—which could be financed by tolls on Strait of Hormuz transit—and the ability to continue its nuclear program, which it claims is for peaceful purposes. The United States insists on the full termination of Iran’s nuclear endeavors and guaranteed free passage through the crucial waterway.
