Donald Trump Rejects Iran’s Response To U.S. Peace Proposal, Calls It Totally Unacceptable

President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s response to a U.S. peace proposal, saying in a post on Truth Social, "I don't like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!"

Axios reported Trump told the outlet in a short phone call on Sunday that he would reject Iran's response to the latest draft agreement to end the war, adding, "I don't like their letter. It's inappropriate. I don't like their response,"

The Washington Post said Trump described Tehran’s reply as "garbage" and said the U.S. ceasefire with Iran was "on life support" after he received what he called Tehran’s "garbage" response.

CNN reported Trump said the ceasefire was on "massive life support" following Iran’s latest counterproposal to end hostilities, and that some Trump aides said he is now more seriously considering a resumption of major combat operations.

The Times of Israel said Trump dismissed Iran’s response within hours and that oil prices rose $3 a barrel after the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement.

Trump told Axios he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday and said of the Iran negotiations: "It's my situation, not everybody else's."

The Times of Israel reported Netanyahu insisted the war is "not over" and said, "It's not over, because there's still nuclear material — enriched uranium — that has to be taken out of Iran."

CNN said Iran’s foreign ministry told state media that its proposal was "reasonable" and "generous," and that it included recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on X, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi wrote that "one cannot talk about a ceasefire while continuing the siege," and UNN said the statement was reported by CNN.

The Sun Nigeria quoted Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian saying, "We will never bow down to the enemy, and if there is talk of dialogue or negotiation, it does not mean surrender or retreat," as Trump called the proposal "totally unacceptable."

CNN said oil prices are climbing after Trump’s dismissal of Iran’s latest terms, sparking fears of a fresh escalation that would keep the vital Strait of Hormuz closed even longer.

Al Jazeera said Trump rejected Iran’s response to his latest peace proposal, which it said upended the global economy, and it described the Strait of Hormuz as a route through which "one-fifth of global oil and natural gas exports are shipped during peacetime."

The Hill reported Iranian state media said negotiators demanded war reparations, Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and an end to U.S. sanctions, while Trump’s administration wanted nuclear commitments up front.

CNN reported a regional source said the talks are unlikely to make significant progress until Trump meets his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping this week, and it said Trump is expected to encourage China to pressure Iran into making a deal during his visit to Beijing.

Axios said the U.S. waited 10 days for the Iranian response, and CNN reported Trump met with his national security team at the White House on Monday to discuss options moving forward.
