Trump Reviews Iran Deal, Claims Tehran Has Not Paid a Big Enough Price

U.S. President Donald Trump reviewed a deal with Iran, stating Tehran had not yet paid a big enough price for its past actions. Iran had submitted a 14-point peace proposal, which the U.S. had previously rejected. The U.S. response to the proposal was under review, with Trump expressing skepticism about its acceptability.

Trump, during a review of the Iran deal, asserted that Iran had not yet met the necessary conditions for a diplomatic resolution. The U.S. had rejected Iran's 14-point peace proposal earlier in the week, with Trump claiming Tehran was unwilling to provide what Washington deemed essential. Iran's foreign ministry confirmed it had received a U.S. response to the proposal and was reviewing it, though Trump remained skeptical about its viability. The Jakarta Post reported that Iran had offered a 'strait deal,' but Trump was not satisfied with the terms. While the U.S. and Iran both acknowledged the exchange of proposals, their positions on the deal's viability diverged. Tehran emphasized its willingness to negotiate, while Trump maintained that the terms were insufficient. The situation remains unresolved, with the potential for further diplomatic or military escalation.
