Iran Rejects Trump's 15-Point Peace Plan, Calls U.S. Proposal 'Excessive'

Iran has rejected the Trump administration's 15-point proposal for peace negotiations, according to Iran's state-run Press TV. Tehran communicated its position through intermediaries, with a senior Iranian official calling the U.S. terms "excessive" and stating the war would only end "on Tehran's own terms and timeline." The rejection could derail prospects for in-person peace talks this week. Iranian officials characterized the U.S. proposal as "a ploy," citing suspicions about Trump's motives given the current deployment of thousands of American troops to the region. The rejection comes despite elements in the U.S. offer that Tehran has historically opposed, raising concerns about potential escalation including renewed threats to Iranian infrastructure. Press TV outlined five Iranian conditions for ending hostilities: complete cessation of U.S. and Israeli attacks and assassinations, establishment of mechanisms preventing war resumption, compensation for war damages, halting all attacks against Hezbollah and pro-Iranian militias, and international recognition of Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz. The breakdown in diplomatic efforts could increase risks of military escalation, particularly if Trump revives previous threats to target Iranian power plants. The rejection effectively removes immediate prospects for direct negotiations, potentially prolonging regional tensions and military deployments.
