TEHRAN, Iran (FN) — Iranian officials on Sunday dismissed a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war, describing the plan as “unrealistic” and out of touch with the realities on the ground. The remarks directly contradicted President Donald Trump’s assertion that Washington’s framework could pave the way for lasting peace.
The rejection underscores the widening gulf between Tehran and Washington as both sides remain entrenched in opposing positions. Iran’s leadership insists that any resolution must address what it calls fundamental political and security concerns, while U.S. officials argue their proposal offers a viable path forward.
The dispute highlights the difficulty of brokering stability in the region, where years of mistrust and competing interests have stalled previous diplomatic efforts. Analysts say the latest exchange signals that negotiations are unlikely to reach common ground in the near term.
The U.S. administration has not yet issued a formal response to Iran’s statement.
