The US President is reportedly unhappy about Tehran’s proposal submitted through Pakistan to end the war launched on February 28February 28 against the US and Israel against Iran, US media reports said.
Donald Trump did not reject the proposal outright, but expressed strong reservations about the sincerity and good faith of the other side, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources in his administration.
The displeasure of the US President was also reported by the New York Times.
According to media reports, Iran is proposing opening the Strait of Hormuz and an agreement to end the war, with negotiations on the nuclear energy program set aside, beginning but not a necessary precondition for a deal to be concluded.
A US official explained, speaking on condition of anonymity to the Routers news agency, that this is precisely the reason for the displeasure of the US head of state.
A spokesperson for the US presidency, Olivia Wales, when asked about this, limited herself to saying that “we will not negotiate through the press” and that the other side knows “our red lines”.
