Trump’s Rejection
President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest response to the U.S. Peace proposal, calling it "totally unacceptable" on Truth Social. The Iranian government’s message, relayed through Pakistani mediators, did not provide the specifics Washington was looking for, Trump indicated.
Iran’s Proposal: End War, Reopen Strait of Hormuz
The Iranian state media reported that Tehran’s proposal focused on ending the war in all its fronts, especially in Lebanon, and ensuring the safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. However, it did not specify how or when the vital waterway would be reopened. This proposed measure came after the U.S. Suggested ending the fighting before initiating negotiations on more delicate issues, such as Iran’s nuclear program.
Tehran’s Demands
According to semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim, Iran’s proposal included:
- Immediate ceasefire in all fronts
- Lifting of the U.S. Naval blockade
- Guarantees against future attacks on Iran
- Removal of U.S. Sanctions, including the ban on selling Iranian oil
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported that Iran also offered to dilute some of its highly enriched uranium and transfer the rest to a third country.
Paikistan’s Role
Pakistan, which has been mediating the negotiations, forwarded Iran’s response to the U.S. There has been no immediate comment from the American government.
Despite Ceasefire, Tensions Persist
Despite a month-long ceasefire, drones hostile to several Gulf countries were detected on Sunday, underscoring the ongoing threat in the region. Nevertheless, a Qatari LNG carrier, the Al Kharaitiyat, safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first such crossing by a Qatari vessel since the U.S.-Israeli war began in late February.
