US President Donald Trump called the latest Iranian proposal to end the war “totally unacceptable” on Sunday, in a Truth Social post.
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it – totally unacceptable!” he wrote.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump wrote that while Iran has been playing games and laughing at the US for 47 years, warning that “they will be laughing no longer.”
He accused Iran of “keeping us waiting, killing our people with roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42,000 innocent unarmed protestors,” referencing the crackdown the Islamic Regime conducted on popular protests in December and January.
Trump also blamed his predecessors, presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, for enabling Iran, saying that Obama was “not only good to [Iran], he was great, actually going to their side, jettisoning Israel and all other Allies.”
He then alleged that Obama delivered $1.7 billion in cash to Tehran in addition to hundreds of billions more in other assets or deals.
The Iranian proposal stressed the need to end the war on all fronts and to lift sanctions on Tehran, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, citing an informed source.
The proposal emphasized the necessity of lifting sanctions by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control on Iranian oil sales during a 30-day period and ending the naval blockade on Iran, Tasnim added.
