“Details of Iran’s response to the US plan, which the US president called ‘unacceptable’,” the post said. The Iranian side stated that “Iran’s proposal, submitted in response to the US plan, emphasises the fundamental rights of the Iranian nation.” According to the statement, “Iran has rejected the US plan, which would have meant Tehran’s submission to Trump’s excessive demands.”

The post further said that “Iran’s plan stresses the necessity of the US paying war reparations and affirms Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.” Tehran also “underscored the need for an end to sanctions and the release of the country’s seized assets and properties,” the statement added.

On Sunday (local time), US President Donald Trump came down heavily on Iran, expressing his displeasure over the response received from Tehran to end hostilities and establish peace amid the developing security situation in West Asia and the Gulf region, terming it completely unacceptable.

Lambasting Tehran in a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he did not like the response received from the ‘representatives’. “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you for your attention to this matter”, he said on Truth Social.

This comes after Iran submitted its reaction to the American proposal for de-escalating regional hostilities through Islamabad, Iranian state media announced on Sunday.

The move follows several affirmations from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson that Tehran’s “views and considerations” concerning the Washington-led initiatives would be dispatched once a thorough “review and final conclusions” had been reached.

Detailing the development, the state-run IRNA news agency stated, “The Islamic Republic of Iran sent today, through Pakistani mediators, its response to the latest text proposed by the United States to end the war.” The state media outlet further clarified the immediate objectives of the diplomatic outreach, adding that “According to the proposed plan, at this stage, negotiations will focus on ending the war in the region.”

According to the reports, the Iranian draft includes specific demands for Washington to “lift sanctions on Iran” and terminate the “blockade on Iranian ports.” Furthermore, the proposal reportedly insists that the US must “withdraw US forces from the region” and “cease all hostilities,” including a demand to end “Israel’s war in Lebanon”.
