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

At the end of the ceasefire? “I just read the response from the so-called representatives of Iran. I don’t like that at all – TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” wrote US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social network 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 cast doubt on the seriousness of American diplomacy to end the conflict. A month after a ceasefire went into effect, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed this skepticism during a telephone call with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, following new clashes in the Gulf waters.

“Leaders of Iran will not be laughing for much longer”

On Sunday, the US President accused Iran of mocking the United States for decades and promised, “they will not be laughing for much longer.” “Iran has been fooling the United States and the rest of the world for 47 years,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. They “mock our country that has now regained its greatness but they will not 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, in response to which Washington imposed a blockade of 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 passageway for global oil trade. While the vessels were not carrying any cargo according to the army, images released by the US military command for the region (Centcom) showed thick columns of smoke coming from the cabins. Tehran had denounced to the UN a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
