[56264] Crisis in negotiations with Iran: Trump rejects the proposal and considers resuming military activity

Peak tension in negotiations between the US and Iran

The negotiations between the US and Iran have reached a boiling point after President Donald Trump bluntly rejected Tehran's response to the American proposal. As reported on Abu Ali Express, Trump defined the Iranian proposal as a "piece of garbage" and claimed it was a "stupid proposal" that was unacceptable to him, noting that the current ceasefire is in "critical condition."

Conversely, official media in Iran, as published on News from the Field on Telegram and Israel News | Uncensored, presented an opposite narrative, according to which it was Iran that rejected the US plan, claiming it constituted "surrender to Trump's excessive demands." Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, clarified on 301 News Arab World that Iran's demands include the cessation of "maritime piracy" against Iranian vessels, the release of frozen assets, and the guarantee of security in the Strait of Hormuz.

Against the backdrop of the deadlock, assessments regarding a shift to a military option are growing. Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted on Abu Ali Express that "Project Liberty Plus" now sounds like a preferred option, an allusion to resuming military activity against Iran. American officials cited on Israel News Uncensored stated that Trump is considering resuming military activity, but may wait until after his planned visit to China on May 13-15.

At the same time, Trump convened an emergency meeting with the national security team to discuss next steps, as reported on News Moment - Army and Security. The Iranians, for their part, continue to demonstrate a hardline stance, with the Foreign Ministry spokesman declaring that "we have not yet settled accounts with Israel," as reported on Abu Saleh the Arab Desk, a channel that emphasizes hostile positions toward Israel and the US.

Further signs of dissatisfaction in Washington were seen in Trump's remarks, as he criticized the Kurds and claimed that they disappointed him and did not use the weapons provided to them to penetrate Iranian territory, as published on The Hot News.
