Trump rejects Iran response to US proposal as 'totally unacceptable'

US President Donald Trump said Iran’s response to Washington’s latest proposal was “totally unacceptable.” He said on Sunday that he had reviewed Iran’s response to Washington’s peace proposal aimed at ending the war and said that he “does not like it”. Trump accused Iran of using delay tactics in negotiations with the United States and “playing games” with Washington for decades, but said Tehran would no longer be able to “laugh” at the US. “Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump accused Iran of “delay, delay, delay” and criticized former US presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden over their Iran policies. “They will be laughing no longer,” Trump added.
Iran’s proposed text for negotiations with the United States underlines the necessity of lifting US sanctions, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News reported, citing an informed source. The proposed text also underlines the necessity of ending the naval blockade of Iran following the signing of an initial understanding, Tasnim cited the source as saying. The proposal includes the need for an immediate end to the war and guarantees against any renewed attack on Iran, the source said. Tasnim cited the source as saying Iran’s proposal stresses the need for an end to the war on all fronts. The proposal also demands the rescinding of US OFAC sanctions related to Iranian oil sales during a 30-day period, Tasnim cited the source as saying.
