Iran: US Calls Its New Peace Proposal Insufficient
The US rejects Iran’s latest ceasefire offer as lacking real nuclear concessions, while Trump considers military moves amid tense indirect talks and mounting pressure on Tehran.
United States Deems Iran’s Latest Proposal to End Hostilities Inadequate
The United States considers the latest proposal submitted by Iran to end hostilities insufficient. A senior American official told Axios that Tehran’s updated position does not include substantial concessions on its nuclear program.
The proposal reached the US on Sunday night through Pakistani intermediaries. According to the same source, it contains only symbolic improvements compared to previous versions. Iran reiterates its commitment not to acquire nuclear weapons but avoids providing specific guarantees regarding uranium enrichment and the delivery of existing stockpiles.
President Donald Trump is simultaneously considering military options. As two American officials report, he is expected to convene the national security team in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday.
“Time Is Running Out”
Shortly before the new Iranian proposal arrived, Trump emphasized in a conversation with Axios that if Tehran does not show flexibility, it will face a much harsher blow. The same senior official warned that without a meaningful change in stance, negotiations might continue “with bombs.”
The US insists it will not lift sanctions without reciprocal actions from Iran. A detailed commitment to limit uranium enrichment is considered particularly critical. On its side, Iran signals that time is working in its favor and that Trump is the one eagerly seeking a deal.
Negotiations remain indirect. Despite minor differences in the latest proposal, American officials interpret the submission itself as a sign of Tehran’s concern over a possible new US military intervention.
The situation remains highly fluid, with both sides holding firm positions ahead of the next moves.
