Trump: Iran's Response to Peace Proposal is Unacceptable

US President Donald Trump evaluated Iran's response to the US peace talks proposal as 'completely unacceptable.' Trump did not provide details about Iran's response but shared his reaction on social media. Iranian state media reported that the response included demands to end the war on all fronts, especially to stop conflicts in Lebanon and to ensure safe maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

The US proposal to end the war aimed to halt conflicts before addressing more controversial issues such as Iran's nuclear program. Iran, however, presented conditions including ending the war on all fronts, lifting the US naval blockade, removing sanctions against Iran, and stopping attacks. Additionally, some sources reported that Iran suggested diluting part of the enriched uranium and transferring the remainder to a third country.

While tensions in the region continue, a liquefied natural gas ship belonging to Qatar passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This was recorded as the first such passage since the war began. It is stated that Iran approved this passage and that it was done to support mediation efforts between Pakistan and Qatar. Also, a Panama-flagged cargo ship passed through a route designated by Iran.

As diplomatic efforts continue, the United Arab Emirates intercepted two drones reportedly originating from Iran. Qatar condemned a drone attack on a cargo ship coming from Abu Dhabi. Kuwait announced it is combating hostile drones entering its airspace. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that they are considering options of diplomacy and use of force to reduce Iran's nuclear program and regional influence.

Pressure to end the war is increasing in the US Congress, while the Trump administration is exploring different ideas to lower gasoline prices. NATO allies do not support military intervention without a full peace agreement to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The UK and France decided to send warships to the region, but Iran described these steps as escalation and announced it would respond. How the process will proceed and when official statements will be made remain unclear.
