President Donald Trump said last night that he plans to examine a newly submitted proposal from Iran aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, though he expressed doubt that the terms would meet U.S. expectations.

“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

.@POTUS on restarting military strikes against Iran: "I can't tell that to a reporter. If they misbehave, if they do something bad — but right now, we'll see. It's a possibility that could happen, certainly." pic.twitter.com/bf9Jmgf7M8

The statement came shortly after Trump was asked by reporters whether the United States might resume military action against Iran.

The President replied, “I can’t tell that to a reporter. If they misbehave, if they do something bad – but right now, we’ll see. It’s a possibility that could happen, certainly.”

Reports from Iranian outlets Tasnim and Fars indicated that Tehran submitted a 14-point proposal through Pakistan, responding to an earlier nine-point plan presented by the United States.

According to those reports, the Iranian framework calls for a comprehensive resolution of the conflict within 30 days, rather than the two-month ceasefire previously proposed by Washington. Additional elements reportedly include demands for assurances against future military strikes, a withdrawal of U.S. forces from areas near Iran, lifting of the naval blockade, release of frozen Iranian funds, financial compensation, removal of sanctions, cessation of fighting in Lebanon, and the establishment of a new system governing the Strait of Hormuz.

On Friday, Trump had already dismissed an earlier version of Iran’s proposal, telling reporters he was not satisfied with it and casting doubt on the prospects for a final agreement.

“They want to make a deal,” Trump said, adding, “I’m not satisfied with it.”

He did not specify which aspects of the proposal were unacceptable, but suggested internal divisions within Iran’s leadership could hinder progress.

“They’ve made strides, but I’m not sure if they ever get there,” Trump said, describing “tremendous discord” among Iran’s leaders.

A report in The Wall Street Journal indicated that Iran had shown some willingness to adjust its position in the version rejected on Friday.

Sources familiar with the discussions said Tehran proposed that negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz could take place simultaneously with U.S. commitments to halt military operations and ease its blockade of Iranian ports.

That approach marked a shift from Iran’s earlier stance, in which it had insisted the United States first end its blockade and reach terms to conclude the conflict before addressing broader issues.
