Trump
says he's not satisfied with Iran's latest proposal for talks
Donald
Trump said earlier that he was not satisfied with the latest Iranian proposal
for talks on the Iran war, while Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran was ready
for diplomacy if the United States changes its approach.
It comes
after Iranian state media and a Pakistani official said Iran had submitted its
latest proposal for negotiations, raising some hope that a deadlock in efforts
to end the war might be broken.
“They
want to make a deal, but ... I’m not satisfied with it,” Trump told reporters
as he left the White House to head to Florida, adding that the Iranian
leadership was “very disjointed” and split into two or three groups.
Trump
also praised Pakistan’s mediation efforts, saying negotiations by phone were
continuing.
“They’ve
made strides, but I’m not sure if they ever get there,” Trump said. “They’re
asking for things that I can’t agree to.”
Meanwhile,
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said his country was ready to pursue
diplomacy if the United States changes what he called its “excessive approach,
threatening rhetoric and provocative actions”.
However,
Araghchi added in a post on his Telegram channel that “Iran’s armed forces
remained ready to defend the country against any threat”.
