President Donald Trump responded with characteristic force on Sunday after receiving what he described as a “totally unacceptable” offer from Iranian regime leaders, at least those still left alive.
Taking to Truth Social late that afternoon, Trump revealed that he had read the Iranian regime’s reply to his latest proposal aimed at ending the conflict and securing a deal, and he made no secret of his displeasure.
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump posted.
In an earlier message that same afternoon, he had cautioned the Iranian regime against continuing to play games with the United States. Time and again he has urged Iran’s leadership to accept a deal, while warning that failure to do so on his timetable could mean the end of the regime itself, as in 'death to the so called fidels.'
On Friday, Trump had spoken of awaiting an important letter from Tehran, one that would shape America’s next steps. At the time he appeared confident that the Iranians were eager to reach an agreement.
“We’re getting a letter [from Iran] supposedly tonight, so we’ll see how that goes,” he told reporters. He added that he was unsure whether Tehran’s leadership was deliberately prolonging the talks, a tactic the Trump administration had noted in previous rounds of negotiation. “I don’t know. We’ll find out soon enough.”
It seems that the Iranian regime hasn't yet heard about email.
The administration has left no ambiguity about the terms it will accept. Any deal, it has stated plainly, must see Iran abandon all efforts to enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons, while fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
This latest exchange comes amid repeated skirmishes, most of them sparked by Iranian attacks. When reporters pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the persistence of violence despite the supposed ceasefire, he offered a blunt reply. Only a stupid country, Rubio said, would fail to fire back when fired upon, "and America isn't a stupid country," [unless you're only talking about the Democrats, he did not add].
