thebalanced.newsTrump Rejects Iran's Response to US Peace Proposal Amid Ongoing Gulf Conflict
US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's response to a US peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in West Asia, calling it "totally unacceptable." Iran's counterproposal, delivered through Pakistani mediators, demanded lifting sanctions, ending the US naval blockade, withdrawal of US forces, compensation for war damages, and recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump criticized the proposal as insufficient, describing the ceasefire as fragile and "on life support," while Iranian officials defended their position as legitimate and reasonable. Diplomatic efforts continue amid rising regional tensions and concerns over nuclear issues.
