President Donald Trump lashed out on Sunday after receiving what he said was a “totally unacceptable” offer from Iranian leaders.
Trump took to Truth Social late Sunday afternoon to say that he’d received a reply to his latest offer from the Iranian regime to end the war and strike a deal — and that he was not at all happy with what they’d said.
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump posted.
In a previous post earlier Sunday afternoon, Trump had warned that the Iranian regime against continuing to play games with the United States — and he has repeatedly encouraged leadership in Iran to agree to a deal, often threatening to end the regime if a deal is not reached.on his timetable.
Trump said on Friday that he was waiting for an important letter from Iran — one that would determine his course of action in the coming days — and at the time, he seemed confident that Tehran was anxious to strike a deal.
“We’re getting a letter [from Iran] supposedly tonight, so we’ll see how that goes,” he told reporters, adding that he wasn’t certain whether or not Iran’s leadership was intentionally dragging out negotiations — a tactic the Trump administration had said they used in the past. “I don’t know. We’ll find out soon enough.”
The Trump administration has been clear about the particulars of any potential deal with Iran, saying that no deal would be agreed to unless Iran agreed to stop any and all efforts to enrich uranium and develop nuclear weapons and to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The news comes as several skirmishes — provoked by Iranian attacks — had reporters asking Secretary of State Marco Rubio why there was so little ceasing and so much firing in the current ceasefire.
Rubio pushed back, saying that “only a stupid country” would not fire back when fired upon.
