Trump Rejects Iran's Response to War Proposal
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's response to the US proposal to end the war, calling it 'completely unacceptable'.
Iran sent its response through Pakistan, which is playing a mediating role in the conflict, but the detailed specifics have not been made public.
The ceasefire, aimed at facilitating talks to end the war initiated by the US and Israel in February, has been largely adhered to, despite occasional exchanges of fire.
Earlier this week, President Trump reiterated that the war with Iran would 'end soon'. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the war cannot be considered over until the enriched uranium stockpile held by Iran is 'destroyed'.
On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, without directly mentioning the US proposal, said, 'We will never bow to the enemy, and if the talk is of dialogue or negotiation, it does not mean surrender or backing down.'
According to the US news agency Axios, a one-page, 14-point US letter includes provisions such as Iran halting nuclear enrichment, lifting sanctions, and re-establishing free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's response focuses on 'ending the war and maritime security' in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's ISNA news agency. Iran has been continuously blocking the waterway, causing oil prices to rise in the global market.
On May 6, Trump wrote on his social media Truth Social, 'If Iran does not agree to a deal, the bombing will begin, and unfortunately, it will be at a much higher level and intensity than before.'
