War in the Middle East: Donald Trump judges Irans response to end the conflict totally unacceptable

Towards the end of the ceasefire? “I just read the response from the so-called representatives of Iran. I don’t like it – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!,” wrote US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform on Sunday evening. Iran had previously indicated that they had responded to the American plan to end the war in the Middle East.

This response focuses on “the end of the war and maritime security.” “The main focus of Iran’s response to the American proposal is on ending the war and maritime security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz,” Isna wrote on their Telegram account shortly after.

On Saturday, Iran questioned the seriousness of American diplomacy in ending the conflict. A month after a ceasefire was implemented, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed this skepticism during a telephone call with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan following new clashes in the waters of the Gulf.

“The leaders of Iran won’t be laughing for much longer”

On Sunday, the US President accused Iran of mocking the United States for decades and promised that “they won’t be laughing for much longer.” “Iran has been messing with the United States and the rest of the world for 47 years,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. “They are making fun of our country, which has now regained its greatness, but they won’t be laughing for much longer!” he added.

Since the start of the war on February 28, triggered by an Israeli-American attack on Iran, Tehran has locked down the Strait of Hormuz, to which Washington responded by imposing a blockade on Iranian ports on April 13.

The US military announced on Friday that they had “neutralized” two Iranian tankers in the Gulf of Oman, the entrance to the strait, a strategic passage for global oil trade. While the ships were not carrying cargo according to the army, images released by the US Central Command showed thick columns of smoke coming from the wheelhouses. Tehran had denounced to the UN a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
