Donald Trump described Iran’s response to the American peace proposal as completely unacceptable. This indicates the hard line of Washington and the threat of further escalation of the conflict.
US President Donald Trump on Sunday sharply rejected Iran’s response to the United States’ proposal to end the war in the Middle East. On his social network Truth Social, Trump described Iran’s response as “completely unacceptable”, without providing specific details that would further explain his position.
- Donald Trump publicly called Iran’s response to the American proposal unacceptable.
- Iran demands the exemption of oil from sanctions and an immediate end to the conflict.
- Tehran is demanding the unblocking of assets, the lifting of the port blockade and security guarantees.
- The American proposal takes the form of a fourteen-point memorandum of understanding with thirty days of negotiations.
- Washington’s withdrawal from the nuclear agreement in 2018 significantly increased mutual tensions.
According to the information of the British television Sky News, in its response, Tehran demands that Iranian oil be exempted from American sanctions within 30 days after the conclusion of a possible agreement. In addition, it demands an immediate end to the military conflict, the unfreezing of frozen Iranian assets, the lifting of the naval blockade of Iranian ports and assurances that the United States will not resume military strikes in the future.
Iranian demands
The Iranian government confirmed a few days ago that it is considering the American proposal, which takes the form of a 14-point memorandum of understanding. This document is intended to create a framework for negotiations that should last 30 days and lead to an end to the war. Part of the discussions is also the question of the relaxation of American sanctions and the future regime in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The memorandum also opens up space for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, which has long been the subject of international disputes.
However, Tehran stressed in its response that any agreements must include specific guarantees from Washington. Iran’s leadership fears that the United States could unilaterally withdraw from the deal in the future, similar to what happened with the 2015 nuclear deal.
The tension remains
Trump’s reaction to Iran’s response suggests that negotiations between the two countries may hit serious obstacles. The United States and Iran have long had strained relations, which have further soured since Washington withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed tough sanctions on Tehran.
The situation in the Middle East remains fragile, with the international community closely monitoring developments. Any failure of the negotiations could lead to further escalation of the conflict, which is already significantly affecting the stability of the region.
