Trump rejects Iran’s response to US peace proposal.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest response to a U.S.-backed peace proposal aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Iran’s reply as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” saying Tehran had been “playing games” with the United States for decades. 

According to reports, Iran’s response included demands such as:

lifting U.S. sanctions, ending restrictions on Iranian oil exports, removing the U.S. naval presence near the Strait of Hormuz, compensation for war-related damages, and guarantees against future attacks. 

The U.S. proposal reportedly called for stricter limits on Iran’s nuclear activities, including a long-term halt to uranium enrichment and dismantling parts of its nuclear infrastructure — conditions Iran is said to have rejected. 

Following Trump’s comments, global oil prices reportedly jumped due to fears that the conflict and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could continue.
