US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal to end the over two-month-long war in the Middle East, claiming Tehran’s terms were “totally unacceptable” and raising the likelihood of renewed conflict after weeks of negotiations. The American commander-in-chief, who is under increasing domestic pressure to end the Iran war, claimed the Islamic republic was “militarily defeated”, as he insisted that Tehran’s nuclear programme –one of the main reasons why Trump started the war– has been contained.

The 79-year-old Republican himself provided no details on Tehran’s counterproposal but, in a brief post on his Truth Social platform, said he was rejecting it.
