U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s response to a U.S. proposal for peace talks, dashing hopes for an imminent end to the 10-week-old conflict.
Within hours of the Iranian proposal’s release, Trump dismissed it with a post on social media. Without providing any details on Tehran’s counterproposal, Trump called it “totally unacceptable”.
Trump also issued a sharp rebuke of Iran, accusing the country of decades of deception and criticizing past U.S. leadership, particularly former President Barack Obama, in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump accused Iran of involvement in attacks on Americans and of suppressing domestic protests, while warning that Tehran would no longer be able to act with impunity.
Iran in its latest proposal seeks to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group, and to ensure the security of shipping.
Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued new and decisive directives for the continuation of operations and the powerful confrontation with the enemies while meeting with the head of the joint military command.
