Trump rejects new Iranian proposals on deal framework

U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected new proposals put forward by Iran to resolve the conflict, expressing dissatisfaction with the conditions set by Tehran, according to sources cited by Reuters and reported by BBC.

The information is also confirmed by The New York Times, CNN, and The Wall Street Journal, citing American officials familiar with the negotiations, CE Report quotes MOLDPRES.

According to reports, Iran’s proposal предусматривает postponing discussions on its nuclear program until the end of the war and the resolution of disputes related to navigation in the Persian Gulf. This approach is not accepted by the U.S., which insists that the nuclear issue be addressed at the very start of negotiations.

A U.S. official said the White House leader’s dissatisfaction was expressed after a cabinet meeting held on Monday. White House spokesperson Olivia Wales stated that the United States “will not negotiate through the press” and has clearly defined its “red lines.”

Chances of resuming peace talks have decreased after Trump canceled a planned weekend visit by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad. During the same period, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Pakistan and Oman, and on Monday met in Saint Petersburg with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who expressed support for Tehran.

In statements to the press, Araghchi said the initiative for negotiations came from Washington, claiming that the U.S. has not achieved its objectives in the conflict.

According to Iranian officials cited by Reuters, the proposal sent via Islamabad предусматривает phased negotiations: a ceasefire and guarantees that the U.S. will not resume hostilities, followed by talks on the naval blockade and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Only later would other sensitive issues, including Iran’s nuclear program—long disputed with the international community—be addressed.
