Trump calls Iran’s response to his peace plan “totally unacceptable” | BBC News
President Trump has dismissed Iran’s response to US proposals to end the war as “totally unacceptable”.
Iran media reported that its response included proposals for an immediate end to the war on all fronts, a halt to a US naval blockade and guarantees of no further attacks on Iran.
Trump posted on the Truth Social platform: “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.”
US proposals are reported to include a suspension on Iranian nuclear enrichment, the lifting of sanctions, and restoring free transit of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has continued to block the Strait of Hormuz – leading to a rise in world oil prices. The US, for its part, has been enforcing a blockade of Iranian ports to exert pressure on Tehran to agree to its terms – a move that has infuriated Iran.
Inside Iran, the BBC has been speaking to people struggling with the impact of the war. The regime has imposed an internet ban, but using trusted sources, the BBC has been hearing from people traumatised by the war, and by government repression.
