WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that he would review Iran’s most recent diplomatic proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, though he expressed deep skepticism, noting that he "cannot imagine" it will be acceptable.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump underscored his belief that Tehran has yet to face sufficient consequences for its actions. "I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran just sent to us, but I don’t imagine it will be acceptable," Trump wrote. "Iran has not yet paid a heavy enough price for what they have done to humanity and the world over the past 47 years."
The 14-Point Counter-Proposal
According to the Iranian news agency Fars, Tehran has reportedly delivered a 14-point response to Pakistan, outlining the necessary pillars to conclude the war. Sources indicated that this document serves as a direct counter-response to a 9-point proposal previously submitted by the United States.
The Iranian sources added that the document provides a "clear roadmap" to end the hostilities while reaffirming Tehran's established "red lines." The proposal was finalized and delivered to Pakistani mediators following high-level decision-making processes in Tehran.
Escalating Pressure
Trump’s comments signal a continued "maximum pressure" rhetoric, even as diplomatic channels through third-party intermediaries like Pakistan remain active. The President’s insistence that Iran must pay a "heavier price" suggests that the U.S. administration may demand significant concessions beyond the current scope of the 14-point roadmap before considering a formal agreement.
