Trump not satisfied with Iran’s new peace proposal – Report

President Donald Trump is not satisfied with Iran’s latest peace proposal, which seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade of Iran’s ports, U.S. media reported, citing several White House officials

The president discussed Iran’s proposal with his top national security officials at a meeting in the White House Situation Room, said the reports.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio who is among those who attended the meeting said Trump was not likely to accept Iran’s proposal, which implies leaving its nuclear program for later negotiations.

The proposal was delivered to the United States some few days ago.

He said accepting the proposal could appear to deny Trump a victory since the president has repeatedly insisted that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.

According to him, Iran’s new proposal is better than what we thought they were going to submit.

He stressed any deal must bar Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Trump insisted earlier that any peace deal with Iran would be made on U.S. terms and his timeline.

The president claimis there is “no time frame” for ending the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and “no time pressure” on either the extended ceasefire or stalled talks.
