President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran’s response to US proposals to end the war as “totally unacceptable”.
Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said Tehran’s proposal, sent via Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, included an immediate end to the war on all fronts, a halt to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and guarantees of no further attacks on Iran.
Trump posted on Truth Social: “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.”
US news outlet Axios reported that the one-page, 14-point US memorandum includes provisions such as a suspension of Iranian nuclear enrichment, the lifting of sanctions, and the restoration of free transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Iranian state media, Tehran’s proposal includes a demand for compensation for war damage and an emphasis on Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
