U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he received a new Iranian proposal to end the war, but he expressed doubt over its prospects.
“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to humanity, and the world, over the last 47 years,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Tehran sent Washington a 14-point proposal via Pakistan in response to a nine-point U.S. proposal, according to a report by the semi-official Iranian news outlet Tasnim.
“I’ll let you know about it later,” Trump told reporters in Florida earlier Saturday. “They’re going to give me the exact wording now,” he said before boarding Air Force One.
Trump rejected a previous Iranian proposal, but conversations have continued, and the three-week ceasefire appears to be holding.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told diplomats in Tehran that “the ball is in the United States’ court to choose the path of diplomacy or the continuation of a confrontational approach,” according to media reports.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, meanwhile, briefed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Tehran’s latest initiatives aimed at ending the war, Tasnim reported. During a telephone call on Friday, Araqchi and Kallas discussed regional and international developments, according to the report.
