U.S. president calls Iran’s response to Washington’s peace proposal “unacceptable”

The ongoing diplomatic standoff between the United States and Iran has seen another sharp exchange, with U.S. President Donald Trump publicly denouncing Iran's response to Washington's peace proposals as "completely unacceptable." Trump conveyed his dissatisfaction via his Truth Social platform, stating he "does not like it" but refraining from detailing the specifics of his objections. This strong reaction from the U.S. president immediately drew a dismissive response from Tehran.

“

I have just read the response from the so-called ‘representatives of Iran.’ I do not like it — completely unacceptable!

Iranian state media, citing Tasnim news agency, retorted that the opinion of the "so-called president of the United States" holds no weight for Iran. They suggested that Trump's negative reaction actually confirms the correctness of Iran's chosen course in negotiations. This defiant stance highlights the deep-seated mistrust and differing objectives between the two nations. While the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran's proposal included initiating nuclear program negotiations, partially opening the Strait of Hormuz, and transferring enriched uranium reserves, Iranian sources claim this reporting only partially reflects reality, emphasizing demands for an immediate ceasefire, lifting of maritime blockades, and removal of oil sanctions.

the opinion of the “so-called president of the United States” does not matter to the Iranian side.

Adding to the complex diplomatic landscape, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a stern warning, asserting that Iran's armed forces are prepared to respond harshly to any aggression. He reiterated that Tehran's proposal, outlined in a 14-point plan, remains the sole viable option for conflict resolution. Despite these bellicose statements, The Wall Street Journal also reported that Iran and the U.S. might resume negotiations in Islamabad as early as this week, indicating that behind the public posturing, channels for dialogue may still be open.

A mistaken strategy always leads to a mistaken result. Our forces are ready to give such a response to any aggression that it will serve as a lesson for all.
