Trump signals Iran peace proposal rejection, says Tehran must ‘pay a bigger price’

FLORIDA: Trump has signalled that he is likely to reject the Iranian peace proposal, saying that Tehran must “pay a bigger price” for its past actions.

He said he has not yet reviewed the exact wording of the proposal but remains unconvinced it is acceptable.

The US president made the remarks on social media, adding to a series of mixed signals from Washington as tensions continue over the ongoing conflict.

He also suggested that military action could not be ruled out if Iran “misbehaves,” though he avoided giving a clear commitment.

Meanwhile, the broader regional situation remains tense, with continued instability involving Iran-backed groups and ongoing clashes in the Middle East, further complicating peace efforts.

Earlier, he indicated that military action against Iran remains a possibility and Tehran will face significant consequences for its actions. He added that new proposals regarding Iran were under consideration, though he expressed skepticism about their acceptability.
