Tensions Explode: Donald Trump’s 15-Point Peace Plan Rejected By Iran

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the United States’ 15-point proposal aimed at ending the conflict, describing it as unrealistic and unreasonable. This position contradicts earlier claims by Donald Trump that Tehran had agreed to most of the terms.

Speaking on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the proposal contains excessive demands that Iran cannot accept, dismissing suggestions that any agreement had been reached.

Baghaei also clarified that Iran has not held direct negotiations with the United States, noting that all communications have been conducted through intermediaries.

“We have had no direct negotiations with the United States so far,” he told reporters during a press briefing.

The spokesperson further addressed regional diplomatic efforts, revealing that Iran declined to participate in meetings organised by Pakistan with neighbouring nations.

According to him, the framework used for those discussions was designed by Pakistan, and Iran chose not to be part of it.

Over the weekend, Pakistan had indicated its willingness to host and facilitate direct talks between the United States and Iran, following a four-nation meeting in Islamabad involving regional foreign ministers focused on easing tensions.

Despite repeated claims by Trump that talks were progressing and that Iran had accepted most US conditions, Baghaei’s remarks highlight a significant gap between both sides.

The situation has raised fresh concerns about a possible escalation in the conflict, especially with the deployment of the USS Tripoli to the region, carrying approximately 3,500 military personnel.
