Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he had reviewed Tehran’s reply but found it deeply unsatisfactory, raising fresh uncertainty over negotiations aimed at ending the war that has disrupted global oil supplies and heightened regional instability.
What Trump said: Trump struck a sharp tone in his response, rejecting the Iranian proposal outright. “I have just read the response… I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” He described the reply as “inappropriate” and declined to reveal further details. Accusing Tehran of long-standing hostility, he said Iran had been “playing games” with the United States for decades. “They will be laughing no longer,” he added, hinting at a tougher stance ahead. Trump also confirmed he had discussed the issue with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a “very nice call” but stressing the negotiations were “my situation”.
