U.S. President Donald Trump says he is reviewing a newly submitted Iranian peace proposal but is unlikely to accept it. Trump made the remarks after reports that Iran has forwarded a plan—described as a 14-point proposal—to a mediator, Pakistan. According to multiple outlets, Trump said he has not yet reviewed the proposal’s exact wording, but he doubts it would be acceptable to Washington. He also reiterated his view that Iran has “not yet paid a big enough price,” a condition he has linked to reaching a deal. Earlier in the week, Trump reportedly rejected another Iranian proposal, saying Tehran had not agreed to what the United States “needs to have” in order to strike an agreement. The current proposal is presented by Iranian-affiliated sources as an initiative to end hostilities, with Pakistan acting as a conduit to the U.S. administration. Overall, the reports align on Trump’s skepticism, the existence of a new Iranian proposal sent for review, and his stated rationale tied to Iran’s actions and the perceived lack of consequences or concessions.
