President Donald Trump rejected the Iranian government’s response to the U.S’s peace proposal to end the Iran conflict.
"I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump posted on Truth Social.
The exact proposal doesn't appear to be public, but the terms likely include lifting oil sanctions, lifting the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran forfeiting its nuclear-enriched materials.
🚨President Trump told me in a phone call that he "doesn't like" Iran's latest response to the draft agreement for ending the war. "It was inappropriate", he said

Multi-page according to WSJ, sticks to opening strait/ending war first before making nuclear concessions; agrees to export some of the HEU to a third country, dilute the rest; agrees to enrichment pause but not 20 years; does not agree to "dismantle" existing…

New: President Trump says Iran’s response to US demands in the memorandum of understanding are “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE” — suggesting the US and Iran no closer to agreeing a deal to start talks for a deal
— Hugo Lowell (@hugolowell) May 10, 2026
The Wall Street Journal reported that Washington submitted its proposal last week.
Iran reportedly said that it would gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. stopped its blockade of the Strait.
The U.S. reportedly sought to place a decades-long moratorium on Iran’s nuclear program.
The Iran conflict started on Feb. 28. Early in the war, the U.S. and Israel bombed Iran, killing its head leader and destroying over 30 of Iran's ships. But more recently, the U.S. has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz to choke out the country's oil revenue.

The idea that Iran would not completely destroy all their enrichment facilities as part of a negotiated solution makes no sense. The moratorium - without complete dismantlement of the enrichment facilities and capabilities - truly becomes the JCPOA.

Trump's options: Door number 1 - Declare victory; withdraw from war; Door number 2 - more negotiations to reach an agreement; Door number 3 - coercive use of blockade plus air strikes with a Project Freedom plus to challenge Iran's control of Straits. Going with with #3
