Trump Unhappy With Iran Proposal to End Conflict, U.S. Official Say
U.S. officials say Trump is not satisfied with Iran’s latest proposal, as differences over nuclear talks and Gulf shipping persist.
A U.S. official said Donald Trump is not satisfied with Iran’s latest proposal aimed at ending the two-month conflict, according to a report by Reuters.
The proposal reportedly suggests delaying discussions over Iran’s nuclear program until after the conflict ends, while prioritizing the resolution of maritime disputes in the Persian Gulf.
Such an approach is unlikely to meet Washington’s expectations, as the United States insists that nuclear issues must be addressed from the outset of any negotiations.
Olivia Valdes said the United States “does not negotiate through the media,” adding that Washington’s red lines remain clearly defined.
Hopes for renewed diplomatic momentum declined after Trump canceled a planned visit by his envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad.
Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi has recently traveled to Pakistan, Oman, and Russia as part of diplomatic efforts surrounding the proposal.
Reports suggest Iran has presented a three-phase plan to the United States, though details remain limited and key disagreements persist.
The White House has confirmed that Trump’s national security team is reviewing Iran’s proposal, particularly its implications for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil shipments.
Officials have indicated that while the proposal is under consideration, Washington remains cautious and is prioritizing security guarantees and freedom of navigation in the region.
Tensions between Iran and the United States have raised concerns about potential disruptions to global energy markets, as the Strait of Hormuz handles a significant share of the world’s oil trade.
Despite ongoing diplomatic contacts through intermediaries, major differences over nuclear policy and regional security continue to hinder progress toward a comprehensive agreement.
