Trump rejects Iran’s latest proposal on conflict resolution “It’s not acceptable”

US President Donald Trump told Israeli journalist Nathan Guttman that Iran’s most recent proposal aimed at resolving the regional conflict is “not acceptable.”

“It’s not acceptable to me. I’ve studied it, I’ve studied everything — it’s not acceptable,” Guttman quoted Trump as saying following a brief phone conversation, in a post shared on X.

President Trump tells me in a brief phone conversation:
The new Iranian proposal is not acceptable. “It’s not acceptable to me. I’ve studied it, I’ve studied everything – it’s not acceptable.”

In additional remarks cited by Kan (Israeli public broadcaster) in Hebrew (with no original English version provided), Trump stated that the campaign is going “great.”

He stressed that “the Iranians want to make a deal, but I’m not satisfied with what they’ve offered,” adding that “there are things I can’t agree to.”

Addressing his repeated calls for Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to grant a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his ongoing criminal trial, Trump said: “He’s a wartime prime minister. They wouldn’t have Israel if it wasn’t for me and Bibi in that order. You want to have a PM that can focus on the war not focus on nonsense.”

Trump also pushed once again for a pardon to Netanyahu. “Tell your president to pardon Bibi. He’s a wartime prime minister. They wouldn’t have Israel if it wasn’t for me and Bibi in that order. You want to have a PM that can focus on the war not focus on nonsense.”
