Trump calls Iran's response to US peace proposal 'unacceptable'

President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran's response to a US proposal for peace talks to end the war, as two ships were allowed to pass through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.



Trump posted on Truth Social "I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called 'Representatives'. I don’t like it — totally unacceptable."



Iranian state media said the response focused on ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon, and on the safety of shipping through the strait, Iranian state TV said, without indicating how or when the vital waterway might reopen.



It followed a US proposal to end fighting before starting talks on more contentious issues, including Iran's nuclear program.



Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said Tehran's proposal included an immediate end to the war on all fronts, a halt to the US naval blockade, guarantees of no further attacks on Iran and the lifting of sanctions on Iran, including a US ban on Iranian oil sales.
