United States President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s most recent reply to Washington’s peace proposal, describing it as “totally unacceptable” amid escalating Middle East tensions.
Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said he had reviewed the Iranian response and strongly disagreed with it. “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘representatives’. I don’t like it — totally unacceptable,” he wrote.
The statement comes as the US awaits further diplomatic progress with Iran following weeks of heightened military tensions and fragile ceasefire efforts in the Gulf region.
Iran had submitted its reply to a US-backed proposal aimed at ending the regional conflict, with mediation efforts involving Pakistan playing a key role. Iranian state media outlet IRNA reported that the current phase of talks would mainly focus on halting the ongoing hostilities.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he was informed that Tehran had formally conveyed its position on the US proposal intended to end the conflict.

Speaking at an event in Islamabad marking Marka-e-Haq, Sharif said Field Marshal Asim Munir briefed him about the development. He added that he could not disclose further details at this stage.
He also highlighted Pakistan’s diplomatic role, saying that for the first time since 1979, US and Iran had been brought to the negotiating table through Pakistan’s mediation efforts. He said this reflected Pakistan’s broader commitment to regional stability through dialogue.
The development comes just ahead of an expected visit by Trump to China, a key buyer of Iranian oil with significant strategic interests in the region. US officials have suggested that the dispute could still be resolved through direct communication, though it remains unclear whether another round of talks will take place.
The situation holds wider implications for Pakistan, where rising fuel costs are already straining the economy and pushing up prices of essential goods.
Pakistan continues to maintain close relations with Iran while also engaging constructively with the Trump administration, positioning itself as a potential intermediary in the crisis.
