Trump says Iran's proposal to end war 'not acceptable'
President Donald Trump said Sunday he had studied Iran's proposal to end the war and found it "not acceptable." Iran had submitted a 14-point response to a US proposal through a Pakistani intermediary, with Tehran now reviewing the US response to its plan.
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he had studied Iran's proposal to end the war and that he found it unacceptable. "It's not acceptable to me. I've studied it, I've studied everything — it's not acceptable," Trump told Israeli media outlet Kan News.
Trump's skepticism
The remarks follow Trump's post on Truth Social on Saturday, in which he said he would soon review the Iranian plan but expressed skepticism. He said Tehran had "not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to humanity, and the world, over the last 47 years."
Iran's proposal
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Saturday that Tehran had submitted a 14-point response to a US proposal through a Pakistani intermediary. Iran said on Sunday that it received a US response to its plan and was reviewing it.

Ceasefire context
The exchange of proposals comes amid a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, mediated by Pakistan and brokered on April 8. The ceasefire has been extended, but a US naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in place, with CENTCOM reporting 49 vessels redirected.
