Donald Trump has claimed that Iran sent a significantly improved peace proposal just minutes after he rejected an earlier version, amid stalled negotiations between United States and Iran.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning from Florida to Washington, Trump said the revised proposal arrived “within 10 minutes” of his rejection of the initial document. According to him, the new offer was “much better” and included broader concessions, though he did not disclose specific details.
Trump reiterated that the United States’ core condition remains unchanged: Iran must not develop nuclear weapons under any circumstances. He emphasized that this demand is central to any potential agreement between the two sides.
The US president also explained the cancellation of a planned visit by American envoys to Islamabad, where another round of indirect talks was expected to take place. He described the trip as unnecessarily long and said key negotiators would not have been able to meet Iran’s top leadership directly.
Instead, Trump indicated a shift in strategy, stating that future discussions would be conducted via telephone. “They can call whenever they want,” he said, adding confidently that “all the cards are in our hands.”
The development comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, with ongoing concerns over conflict dynamics and diplomatic deadlock. While Trump’s remarks suggest possible progress, the absence of detailed terms leaves uncertainty over whether the revised proposal could lead to a breakthrough.
