Trump Calls Iran’s Peace Proposal Response Unacceptable

Iran responded to the U.S. peace proposal by demanding compensation for damages, an end to the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of sanctions and bans on oil sales. The Times of Israel reported that U.S. President Donald Trump rejected the proposal because it did not include a final agreement for Iran to transfer its enriched uranium and end its nuclear program.

The US had proposed an end to fighting before starting talks on more contentious issues, including Iran’s nuclear program.

The Wall Street Journal quoted unnamed sources saying Iran proposed diluting some of its highly enriched uranium and transferring the remainder to a third country.

The US proposal, had Iran agreed to it, would have formally ended the war and reopened the Strait of Hormuz before beginning talks on more contentious issues, including Iran’s rogue nuclear program.

Earlier, Trump accused Tehran of “playing games” in negotiations with the US for decades.

“Iran has been playing games with the United States, and the rest of the World, for 47 years,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, before criticizing the Iran policies of former US presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

“They will be laughing no longer!” Trump added, signaling dissatisfaction with Tehran’s response in the talks, which have been unfruitful for weeks.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war with Iran, which began in February, will not be over as long as the regime continues to possess nuclear material. He suggested the uranium could be removed either through diplomacy or military action.

Today, Netanyahu held a security meeting in his office ahead of direct talks between Israel and Lebanon scheduled for this week. Northern communities continue to face threats from Hezbollah terror activity near Lebanon’s border. The IDF confirmed that a drone attack yesterday killed IDF reservist Warrant Officer Alexander Glovanyov, 47, of Petah Tikva.

The Fellowship and our supporters pray for the efforts of the U.S. and Israel to pursue peace and an end to the Iranian threat. We also pray for the Glovanyov family as they mourn their loss.
