US President Donald Trump criticized Iran’s negotiators amid ongoing efforts to reach a lasting peace agreement between the two nations. The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran escalated on February 28 with coordinated strikes and retaliatory actions, including the closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz trade route. The US imposed a blockade on Iranian ports in the strait to pressure negotiations and lift the closure.
Pakistan has intervened to mediate talks, but a lasting peace settlement remains elusive despite a temporary ceasefire. Trump expressed anger on Truth Social after receiving Iran’s response to a peace proposal, deeming it “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.”
The recent US proposal aimed to resolve the conflict, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and address Tehran’s nuclear program. However, Iran’s counter-offer focused on halting hostilities in the Middle East before discussing contentious issues like its nuclear activities. Iran’s proposal prioritizes ensuring safe shipping through the strait before engaging in nuclear talks.
Iran’s counter-proposal, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, includes requests for a 30-day period for nuclear negotiations. The validity of these requests has not been independently verified by the Mirror.
