US President Donald Trump said on Sunday (May 10) that he had reviewed Iran’s latest response to a US proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and strongly rejected Tehran’s position.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump signalled frustration with the Iranian reply delivered through diplomatic channels.

“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” Trump wrote.

Fresh setback for ceasefire negotiations

Trump’s remarks come as Washington and Iran continue indirect negotiations over a possible ceasefire framework and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state media reported earlier Sunday that Tehran had submitted its response to the latest US proposal through Pakistani mediators, though officials did not disclose details of the message.

The US proposal reportedly included a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz alongside a gradual easing of the American blockade on Iranian ports.

Tensions remain high

Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, tensions between the two countries remain elevated over Iran’s nuclear programme, Gulf shipping routes and recent military exchanges in the region.

The Trump administration has repeatedly warned that military escalation remains possible if negotiations fail, while Tehran has insisted it will not accept pressure over its nuclear activities or regional policies.

This is a developing story.
