What we know about Iran's peace proposal rejected by Trump
US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end the war, leaving negotiations stalled and fears rising over the potential of war resuming. Earlier this week, Trump responded to the proposal from Tehran, saying: "At this moment I'm not satisfied with what they're offering" and that "they're asking for things that I can't agree to". The proposal, delivered via mediators, outlines a phased approach to ending the conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the US naval blockade, while postponing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme to a later stage. The plan comes amid a prolonged stand-off that has disrupted global energy flows and heightened fears of renewed fighting. What is Iran offering? Iran is seeking to end the war in exchange for guarantees that the United States and Israel will not launch further attacks, officials familiar with the proposal said. Under the framework, Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas, while Washington would lift its blockade of Iranian ports, which has halted billions of dollars in oil exports. Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme would be deferred to a later phase, in what Tehran has presented as a step towards compromise aimed at breaking the diplomatic deadlock. Reporting by The Wall Street Journal suggests the proposal shows signs of flexibility, with Iran moving closer to the US position by agreeing to discuss the strait and security guarantees first, before tackling more contentious nuclear issues. Why did the US reject it? Washington has consistently insisted that any deal to end the war must include upfront guarantees that Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon, including limits on uranium enrichment. This is complicated by Trump's close relationship with Israel, which has falsely claimed Tehran is merely weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon. By contrast, Iran’s proposal rightfully dismisses this as propaganda and seeks to delay nuclear discussions, prioritising de-escalation measures first. Trump has given no detailed breakdown of his objections but has repeatedly signalled dissatisfaction with the terms on offer. "They want to make a deal, I'm not satisfied with it, so we'll see what happens," he said. What does Iran want in return? Tehran is seeking an end to the war, the lifting of the US naval blockade and a pathway to sanctions relief. It is also pushing for recognition of its right to enrich uranium for ...

Amna Nawaz: It's been 60 days since the war began, which means today is a legal deadline for the administration to seek congressional authorization. But the White House informed Congress it didn't need to get its approval because the war had been -- quote -- "terminated" during the current cease-fire.Nick Schifrin is here. He's been following all of this.So, Nick, tell us more about what the president said today. Nick Schifrin: Amna, the president not only rejected Iran's new proposal. He expressed a deep skepticism that Iran could ever submit a proposal that would satisfy him. President Donald Trump: So, they want to make a deal, but I don't -- I'm not satisfied with it, so we will see what happens. They have made strides, but I'm not sure if they ever get there.There's tremendous discord. There's tremendous -- they're having a tremendous problem getting along with each other in Iran.

One group wants to make a certain deal. The ot...
