Trump to review Iran’s new proposal, signals likely rejection

US President Donald Trump has said that he is preparing to review a newly submitted proposal from Iran, but cast serious doubt on whether it could ever be acceptable. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, ” while adding he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable” because, in his view, Tehran “has not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. ” The remarks underscore Trump’s scepticism toward the Iranian initiative even before formally examining its contents. The proposal in question is a reported 14-point plan submitted by Tehran through mediators, aimed at securing a permanent end to the conflict. According to Iranian media, the framework includes demands for guarantees of non-aggression, the lifting of a naval blockade, and a halt to hostilities “on all fronts, ” including in Lebanon. Trump acknowledged being briefed on what he called the “concept of the deal, ” but reiterated that his final judgment would depend on the precise details —details he implied are unlikely to change his current stance. Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump again highlighted the proposal while maintaining a hard line. He said Iran appears eager to negotiate, claiming the country has been “decimated, ” but repeated that any agreement would need to meet US standards. Beyond the proposal itself, Trump warned that military action remains on the table. He said strikes against Iran could resume if the country “misbehaves” or does “something bad, ” adding that “there is a possibility it could happen. ” Still, he noted that, for now, the US believes it is “doing very well” in its current position vis-à-vis Tehran. Meanwhile, tensions remain high on the ground. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said it is on standby for a potential return to war, warning that renewed hostilities are “likely” and accusing the US of failing to uphold commitments. The group’s comments reflect deep mistrust on the Iranian side, even as diplomatic channels remain active.
