Iran insists on diplomatic solution after Trump rejects peace plan

Iran says a seven-day ceasefire and wider talks remain ready if Washington accepts its conditions.

  • On Sunday, Iran insisted that only diplomacy can resolve its conflict with the United States and Israel after President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end fighting.
  • The United States has imposed an economic blockade on Tehran to stop attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, where a seven-month-old conflict has disrupted oil flows and harmed the global economy.
  • Rejecting the plan Saturday, Trump told reporters "they're losing so badly," while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated the deal would trigger a seven-day countdown to reopening the strait and a pause in fighting.
  • Despite the public rejection, mediators have not officially relayed Trump's decision to Tehran, officials say. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told CBS that Tehran is ready for talks but will not accept "bullying or coercion."
  • As the war alternates between pauses and renewed strikes, Iran remains firm it will defend itself against threats, even as the administration remains skeptical that Tehran will comply with demands to halt its nuclear program.
