Iran Offers New Peace Proposal to US via Pakistan; Trump Expresses Dissatisfaction

Iran reportedly passed a new proposal to Pakistani mediators on May 1, 2026, though the contents remain undisclosed. Tehran has been seeking to end the war with the US through diplomatic channels, with Pakistan acting as an intermediary. Trump, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the proposal, stating that talks were not 'getting there' and that his options remained 'either blast them away or make a deal.' Euronews reported that Washington is engaged in a legal debate over whether Trump has passed a deadline for requesting congressional approval for the war. The Guardian, meanwhile, focused on the peace proposal and Trump's reaction, noting that the proposal was the latest effort by Iran to end the conflict with the US. The two outlets diverged in their emphasis, with Euronews highlighting the legal controversy and the Guardian focusing on the diplomatic maneuvering.
