The White House on Monday rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal.
While the proposal submitted Sunday includes more statements about Iran’s commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, it has no detailed commitments about suspending its nuclear uranium enrichment, according to Axios, which cited an unnamed source.
Iranian state-run media reported that the U.S. had agreed to ease some oil sanctions during negotiations, but a U.S. official told Axios that those concessions won’t come without reciprocal action from Iran.
“We are at a very serious place today. The pressure is on them to be responsive in the right way,” the senior U.S. official said.
On Monday, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social criticized how the media would handle its coverage if Iran did surrender.
“If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT,” he said.
