Trump says he is likely to reject Iran peace proposal as Tehran has ‘not yet paid a big enough price’
Iran’s proposal seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift sanctions, while Trump says he is reviewing it but doubts a deal is possible.
- On Sunday, May 3, 2026, President Trump expressed strong skepticism toward a new 14-point Iranian peace proposal, signaling he is likely to reject the deal as the two nations remain in a tense military standoff.
- The president stated on social media that he "can't imagine" the current proposal being acceptable, arguing that the Iranian government has "not yet paid a big enough price" for its actions against humanity and the world over the last 47 years.
- The Iranian plan, forwarded through Pakistani mediators, reportedly prioritizes the immediate lifting of the U.S. naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz but suggests delaying critical negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program to a later stage.
- While a fragile ceasefire has been in place since early April, Trump publicly mused about the possibility of restarting airstrikes, warning that the U.S. will not end the conflict early until its core objectives, including the surrender of Iran’s enriched uranium, are met.
- The standoff has shifted from active bombing to a grueling economic war, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming that the naval blockade—which Trump described as "more effective than the bombing"—will remain in place until pre-conflict shipping levels are restored.

Iran has been telling this to anyone who’ll listen for weeks: all you need to do is pay a toll, get a stamp, and sail through. Some tankers have quietly done exactly that, reportedly forking over up to $2 m…
