LONDON: Iran has rejected Donald Trump’s peace plan and mocked the US president for claiming a deal is close. Mocking President Trump, the Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corp wrote a note on a missile – its ‘present’ for ‘foolish Trump’.
According to a report published in The Telegraph, the move prompted the White House to warn that the president would “unleash hell” if Iran did not accept his terms.
The US delivered a 15-point peace plan to Iran demanding no nuclear enrichment, a limit on missiles and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Islamic Republic dismissed the document, delivered via a “friendly intermediary”, adding that it failed to reflect the balance of power in the conflict.
“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so, and when its own conditions are met,” one official told state television.
Iran’s response rejects the American framework entirely and substitutes conditions that Iranian officials describe as minimum requirements.
Tehran demands a complete halt to “aggression and assassinations” by the US and Israel. It wants “concrete mechanisms” to ensure the war will not be reimposed on the Islamic Republic – a demand that goes beyond typical ceasefire monitoring to imply binding international guarantees preventing future American or Israeli strikes.
It also insists on “guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations”.
Tehran requires the war to end “across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region” – effectively demanding American guarantees not to attack Hezbollah, the Houthis or other Iranian-aligned forces.
