TRUMP REJECTS IRANIAN PEACE PROPOSAL
Trump said Iran’s proposal was not ready, while negotiators kept pressing for relief from sanctions and a path to reopen talks.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to end the war, stating he wants a different deal because Iran is "losing so badly" and the U.S. maintains "total control of the Hormuz Strait."
- Iran's offer sought to reopen the Hormuz Strait and restart nuclear talks if the U.S. lifted its naval blockade, removed oil sanctions, and reinstated a regional ceasefire.
- More than 20 million barrels of oil transited the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, a U.S. defense official confirmed, as Qatari mediators worked to facilitate discussions between both parties.
- Negotiators are expected to hold more talks this week, though Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that Iran is "still waiting for an official response through the mediators."
- Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi reiterated during a Sunday NBC News appearance that "there is no alternative to a negotiated solution," characterizing the United States as an untrustworthy negotiator.
