Trump says Iran sent a new proposal

US President Donald Trump made new remarks on the negotiation process with Iran after canceling the planned Pakistan talks involving Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Speaking to reporters, Trump claimed Tehran had sent Washington a proposal and said a stronger offer arrived shortly after the trip was called off.

Trump said the first proposal was not enough

Trump said Iran had handed the US side a proposal related to the negotiations, but he described it as insufficient.

“Iran gave us a piece of paper. It had to be better,” Trump said.

He then claimed another proposal arrived after the Pakistan visit was canceled.

“Ten minutes later, we got a much better piece of paper”

Trump said the American delegation’s planned trip to Pakistan was no longer necessary and claimed the decision was followed by a new Iranian offer.

“Interestingly, the moment I canceled the trip, just 10 minutes later, we got a much better piece of paper,” Trump said.

Assessing Tehran’s proposals, he added: “Iran offered a lot, but it was not enough.”

 “They can call us whenever they want”

Trump said any further contact could take place by phone rather than through long diplomatic trips.

“I will meet with whoever we need to meet with, but we don’t need to wait two days or have people travel 16 or 17 hours. We are not going to do it that way. We will make a deal over the phone. They can call us whenever they want. We have all the cards. We won everything,” he said.

He has not decided on the ceasefire

Asked whether the ceasefire between the sides would continue, Trump replied: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

He also repeated that the United States would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

Trump repeated claims of division in Iran

Trump also continued to claim that Iran’s leadership was divided. He said there was internal conflict within the Iranian administration and argued that the leadership was struggling over power.

“They are fighting with each other. There is tremendous internal conflict. In many cases, they are fighting over leadership. I even think they are fighting not to be the leader, because we took out two levels of leadership,” Trump said.
