Iran’s latest peace proposal is “totally unacceptable,” President Trump said on Sunday.
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
The President’s short response, which included no mention of the terms on offer, came within hours of Iran submitting the proposal.
Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency gave some indication of the terms, saying that the regime wanted talks to focus exclusively on bringing hostilities to an end and leave talks about Iran’s nuclear program for a later date.
The Epoch Times reports, “Iran’s response is focused on efforts to end the aggression on all fronts, including Israeli attacks on Lebanon, and to guarantee the security of shipping in the Persian Gulf, according to Iran’s state TV.
“A significant point of disagreement remains over the control of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s state TV said the strait has been under Iranian control since the early days of the war.
“Iran’s state TV said the country has indicated it is ready to reopen the strait if the war ends permanently and the United States lifts its sanctions and naval blockade.”
On Sunday, President Trump accused Iran of “playing games with the Untied States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years (DELAY, DELAY, DELAY!).”
“For 47 years the Iranians have been ’tapping’ us along, keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protestors, and laughing at our now GREAT AGAIN Country. They will be laughing no longer!”
On Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to Miami to meet with the Prime Minister of Qatar.
Qatar has been playing a mediating role in the discussions, working behind the scenes while Pakistan has serve as an official middleman.
Rubio and Witkoff are reported to have been sent together because President Trump “views them as especially effective in negotiations with Iran,” Axios reports.
Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani had been in Washington meeting with Vice President JD Vance and was due to return straight to Doha, but instead went to Miami to meet Rubio and Witkoff.
Al-Thani is reported to have spoken with the Saudi Foreign Minister to discuss the mediation.
A source who spoke to Axios said Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are working in tandem to push for an agreement.
“The mediators are urging both parties to de-escalate and focus on getting a deal.”
Over the weekend, Alex Jones Live reported that an internal power struggle is complicating negotiations to end the war.
Sources familiar with the negotiations spoke to The New York Post and said the pro-war and pro-deal factions are currently fighting behind the scenes.
The Post reports, “Though Iran’s political elites—including its president, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker—have been at the center of efforts to hammer out peace terms, regional sources told The Post that it’s Iran’s military leadership that ultimately has the power to accept or reject any agreement.”
Support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) is currently at a high, and many within the Corps want to see the war continue.
“One faction there right now is at its highest point ever in its history — the IRGC,” a source told The Post.
“The nationalist feeling (that comes with war) gives them the highest pedestal.”
In recent days, Iran has launched a number of smaller scale attacks designed to provoke an American response.
President Trump has refused to reveal exactly what kind of provocation would draw the US and Iran back into an all-out war.
Trump told a reporter “You’ll find out” when that moment is reached.
