Washington: US President Donald Trump has firmly rejected a peace proposal sent by Iran aimed at ending the prolonged conflict that has disrupted global oil routes and intensified instability across the region.
The proposal reportedly reached Washington on Sunday as diplomatic efforts continued to seek an end to the war, which has been ongoing since late February and has severely impacted international shipping lanes, especially routes critical for global crude oil supplies.
Reacting publicly, Trump took to his social media platform to express strong disapproval of Tehran’s response, describing it as entirely unacceptable. However, he did not disclose the specifics of the proposal or clarify which aspects were rejected by his administration.
The latest development comes as pressure mounts on the White House to determine its next course of action. Several Republican leaders have reportedly urged Trump to keep all options open, including possible military measures, if diplomatic negotiations fail to produce results.
The conflict has already caused widespread disruption to fuel distribution chains worldwide, with several countries experiencing supply shortages and rising energy prices due to restricted movement through strategic maritime routes.
Analysts believe Iran’s latest outreach may have been an attempt to de-escalate tensions after months of economic and military strain, but Trump’s sharp response suggests that negotiations remain far from a breakthrough.
Officials in Washington have not released any further details about the contents of Iran’s proposal, and there has been no immediate reaction from Tehran following Trump’s remarks.
The rejection raises fresh uncertainty over prospects for peace, as the international community continues to watch closely for signs of either renewed diplomacy or a deeper escalation in the already volatile standoff.
