Trump gets gut punch as Iran knocks back his plan to end war: report
President Donald Trump was issued a stern rejection Wednesday after Iranian officials knocked back his administration’s proposed plan to bring about an end to the war he initiated last month, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid.
The New York Times reported Tuesday night that the Trump administration had sent Iranian officials a 15-point plan to end hostilities between the two nations. A subsequent CNBC report confirmed that Iran had received it.
Iranian officials, however, bluntly rejected that plan on Wednesday, according to Ravid, further complicating the Trump administration’s ongoing scramble to find an exit to the conflict that has sent oil prices soaring and caused global instability.
“Iranian state TV says Iran told the U.S. through the mediators that they reject the 15-point plan,” Ravid wrote Wednesday in a social media post on X.
Trump has reportedly been looking for a way out of the war, though one former Trump security advisor warned that such an off-ramp may not exist, with Iran having vowed to keep fighting in response to the joint U.S.-Israeli surprise attack last month.You May Also Like
