President Donald Trump sharply rejected Iran’s latest response to the U.S. ceasefire proposal on Sunday, declaring it “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE” amid reports that Tehran refused to meet key American demands on its nuclear program.

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

The reaction came after reports from The Wall Street Journal and regional outlets indicated Iran’s proposal focused heavily on ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while delaying binding commitments on enriched uranium and the future of its nuclear program.

According to the Wall Street Journal report, Tehran proposed discussing nuclear issues separately within 30 days rather than immediately accepting U.S. conditions.

Iran reportedly offered a temporary freeze on uranium enrichment for a shorter period than the long-term restrictions demanded by Washington, while proposing to dilute part of its enriched uranium stockpile and transfer the rest to a third country under specific conditions.

Iranian officials portrayed the response differently. An Iranian official told Al Jazeera that Tehran’s proposal was delivered in a “positive and realistic” manner and focused on “ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon,” alongside resolving disputes with Washington.

Lebanese outlet Al Mayadeen reported that Iran is demanding full sanctions relief, the release of frozen Iranian funds, and an immediate end to the war as part of any agreement with the United States. The report added that Tehran considers a ceasefire in Lebanon a “red line.”

At the same time, diplomatic activity continued behind the scenes. According to Axios, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House envoy Steve Witkoff met Saturday in Miami with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani as part of efforts to advance a deal aimed at ending the war with Iran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke with Trump following the latest developments surrounding Iran’s response and the ongoing negotiations.
