"“I have just read the response from Iran's so-called 'Representatives.' I don't like it - TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” he wrote in a terse statement on Truth Social on May 10, without indicating if it would bring the return of air strikes over Iran."
"Tasnim, which is close to the hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), reported that Tehran's proposal also called for an end of fighting on “all fronts,” including Lebanon as well as in Iran. Following Trump's rejection, Iranian state media reported that the regime's demands also included the need for the US to pay compensation for war damages and that Tehran's control of the Strait of Hormuz be officially recognized, something the global community has rejected."
"Tasnim ... laid out what it said were the terms of Tehran's response, saying demands include the lifting of long-standing sanctions against Iran, the end of the US naval blockade, and guarantees against further attacks. State media said that accepting the US conditions would amount to Iran's “surrender” to what it called “excessive demands.”"
"Many reports have suggested the US plan is set out in a one-page memorandum that called for an end to fighting and the unblocking of the Strait of Hormuz but which left other key issues -- including Iran's right to enrich uranium -- until later."
Trump rejected Iran’s response to a US peace proposal as totally unacceptable. Iran’s reported terms included lifting long-standing sanctions, ending a US naval blockade, and providing guarantees against further attacks. Iranian proposals also called for an end to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon and within Iran. Iranian state media reported additional demands for US compensation for war damages and official recognition of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, which the global community has rejected. State media characterized acceptance of US conditions as surrender to excessive demands. The US plan was described as a one-page memorandum calling for an end to fighting and unblocking the Strait of Hormuz while deferring other issues such as uranium enrichment.
