LIVE US Iran War: Trump Rejects Iran’s Response To Peace Proposal, Tehran DefiantAdded:
We warn the enemy that if they once again resort to aggression and once again become afflicted with a miscalculation in the way that they were in the past and now in fact are enduring and paying for the price of those past mistakes. If the enemy once again becomes afflicted with a miscalculation and resorts to aggression against our country, they will certainly face other surprising options.
As diplomatic efforts remain deadlocked, Iranian leadership is framing the conflict as a strategic failure for its opponents.
>> The enemy did not achieve any of their predetermined objectives. They were defeated in this war. Why? Because fundamentally modern wars are analyzed based on the degree of achievement of objectives. Which side in the war was victorious and which side was defeated?
With both sides holding their positions, diplomatic efforts appear stalled for now. The US wants an immediate halt to fighting before broader negotiations.
While Iran is pushing for sanctions relief, security guarantees, and even regional concessions before any deal moves. President Donald Trump publicly dismissed Iran's response to the US peace initiative through a social media post. The US president said he had reviewed the Iran's reply to Washington's proposal, but made it clear that the response failed to meet American expectations. Trump later said the message had come from what he called Iran's so-called representatives and declared the response totally unacceptable.
Earlier, Trump had accused Thran of playing games with the United States for decades, warning on social media that Iran would be laughing no longer.
However, he did not specify which demands or conditions led to the rejection. The US proposal had aimed to first stop active fighting before moving to talks on bigger issues such as Iran's nuclear program. But Iran's response went far beyond a simple ceasefire framework. The demanded an end to the war across the region, including in Lebanon, where Israel continues operations against Hezbollah. Iran also laid out a series of conditions that have now emerged as major sticking points in the talks. According to Iran state TV, Thran called on the United States to lift sanctions. The Iranian response also demanded an end to restriction on its oil sales. Iran further asked Washington to remove its naval blockade in the region. It also sought guarantees that no further attacks would be carried out against the country. The response included a demand for compensation over war related damage and also reasserted its position over control over the strait of Hormus. The continued deadlock immediately shook global energy markets. Oil prices jumped after it became clear that shipping through the straight of Hormus remains under threat. The US has also struggled to gain broader international support for military operations in the region.
Trump has indicated that he still wants diplomatic pressure to continue, particularly through China. The US president is expected to discuss Iran with Chinese President Xiinping during his visit to Beijing this week.
Washington hopes China can push Thran towards a deal, even as the conflict continues to destabilize energy supplies and shipping routes. Despite talks of diplomacy, both the US and Israel have made it clear they do not believe the conflict is over. Trump said Iran may be defeated, but warned that it does not mean the threat has ended. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is still more work to be done, including removing Iran's enriched uranium, dismantling enrichment facilities, and addressing missile capabilities and Iranbacked groups in the region.
We share common objectives and the most important objective is the removal of enriched material from Iran. All of the enriched material and the dismantling of Iran's enrichment capabilities.
President Trump believes he can achieve this one way or another. However, we are prepared for any scenario and that is the directive I have given to the IDF and our security agencies as well.
Iran meanwhile has responded with defiant messages of its own. Iranian President Masoud Pzeskin said the country would never bow down to the enemy. Pizeskin said talks or negotiation should not be seen as a sign of surrender or retreat. He added that any dialogue would be aimed at defending Iran's rights and protecting national interests with what he described as resolute strength. An Iranian military spokesperson also warned that any future attack on Iran would be met with what he called surprising new methods and weapons. The official also threatened that countries following US sanctions could face difficulties moving through the straight of Hormos.

We share common objectives and the most important objective is the removal of enriched material from Iran. All of the enriched material and the dismantling of Iran's enrichment capabilities.
President Trump believes he can achieve this one way or another. However, we are prepared for any scenario and that is the directive I have given to the IDF and our security agencies as well.
Iran meanwhile has responded with defiant messages of its own. Iranian President Masoud Pzeskin said the country would never bow down to the enemy. Pizeskin said talks or negotiation should not be seen as a sign of surrender or retreat. He added that any dialogue would be aimed at defending Iran's rights and protecting national interests with what he described as resolute strength. An Iranian military spokesperson also warned that any future attack on Iran would be met with what he called surprising new methods and weapons. The official also threatened that countries following US sanctions could face difficulties moving through the straight of Hormos.
We warn the enemy that if they once again resort to aggression and once again become afflicted with a miscalculation in the way that they were in the past and now in fact are enduring and paying for the price of those past mistakes. If the enemy once again becomes afflicted with a miscalculation and resorts to aggression against our country, they will certainly face other surprising options.
As diplomatic efforts remain deadlocked, Iranian leadership is framing the conflict as a strategic failure for its opponents.
>> The enemy did not achieve any of their predetermined objectives. They were defeated in this war. Why? Because fundamentally modern wars are analyzed based on the degree of achievement of objectives. Which side in the war was victorious and which side was defeated?
With both sides holding their positions, diplomatic efforts appear stalled for now. The US wants an immediate halt to fighting before broader negotiations.
While Iran is pushing for sanctions relief, security guarantees, and even regional concessions before any deal moves to Iran's response to the US peace initiative through a social media post.
The US president said he had reviewed the Iran's reply to Washington's proposal but made it clear that the response failed to meet American expectations. Trump later said the message had come from what he called Iran's so-called representatives and declared the response totally unacceptable.
Earlier, Trump had accused Thran of playing games with the United States for decades, warning on social media that Iran would be laughing no longer.
However, he did not specify which demands or conditions led to the rejection. The US proposal had aimed to first stop active fighting before moving to talks on bigger issues such as Iran's nuclear program. But Iran's response went far beyond a simple ceasefire framework. Thran demanded an end to the war across the region, including in Lebanon, where Israel continues operations against Hezbollah. Iran also laid out a series of conditions that have now emerged as major sticking points in the talks. According to Iran State TV, Thran called on the United States to lift sanctions. The Iranian response also demanded an end to restriction on its oil sales. Iran further asked Washington to remove its naval blockade in the region. It also sought guarantees that no further attacks would be carried out against the country. The response included a demand for compensation over war related damage and also reasserted its position over control over the straight of Hormuz. The continued deadlock immediately shook global energy markets. Oil prices jumped after it became clear that shipping through the straight of Hormuz remains under threat. The US has also struggled to gain broader international support for military operations in the region.
Trump has indicated that he still wants diplomatic pressure to continue, particularly through China. The US president is expected to discuss Iran with Chinese President Xiinping during his visit to Beijing this week.
Washington hopes China can push Thran towards a deal even as the conflict continues to destabilize energy supplies and shipping routes despite talks of diplomacy.
