Middle East War: Donald Trump deems Irans response totally unacceptable to end the conflict

Towards the end of the ceasefire? “I just read the response from the so-called representatives of Iran. I don’t like it at all – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!,” wrote US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social network on Sunday evening. Iran had previously indicated that it had responded to the American plan aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.

This response focuses on “the end of the war and maritime security.” “The main focus of Iran’s response to the American proposal is on the end of the war and maritime security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz,” Isna wrote on their Telegram account shortly after.

This Saturday, Iran questioned the seriousness of American diplomacy to end the conflict. One month after a ceasefire went into effect, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed this skepticism during a phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, following new clashes in the waters of the Gulf.

The leaders of Iran will no longer “laugh for long”. This Sunday, the American President accused Iran of mocking the United States for decades and promised that “they will not laugh for long.” “Iran has been leading the United States and the rest of the world on for 47 years,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. They “mock our country which has now regained its greatness but they will not laugh for long!” he added.

Since the start of the war on February 28, triggered by an Israeli-American attack against Iran, Tehran has locked the Strait of Hormuz, to which Washington responded by imposing a port blockade on April 13.

The US military announced on Friday that they had “neutralized” two Iranian tankers in the Gulf of Oman, the entrance to the strait, a strategic passage for the global trade of hydrocarbons. While the ships were not carrying cargo according to the army, images released by the US Central Command for the region showed thick columns of smoke coming out of the pilot houses. Tehran had denounced to the UN a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
