Iran Dismisses U.S. Peace Proposal

Iran has once again turned down the 15-point peace proposal put forth by U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at resolving conflicts in the Middle East. Ismail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, labeled the proposal as unrealistic and unreasonable. He clarified that there have been no direct communications between Washington and Tehran, with all exchanges occurring through intermediaries. According to reports, Baghaei stated that the proposals sent to Iran are largely unrealistic, unreasonable, and excessive.

Details of the 15-point peace plan have not been disclosed, but Trump previously asserted that Iran had agreed to the terms. He also mentioned that the proposal was sent to Iran via Pakistan, although he hinted at uncertainties surrounding the negotiations.

Trump's Comments on Negotiations

The 79-year-old U.S. President remarked, "We are communicating with them both directly and indirectly. We have our envoys, but we are also engaging in direct talks." He expressed skepticism about the reliability of negotiations with Iran, stating, "Nothing is certain with them, as we engage in discussions and then always have to blow them off."

Speculations of Ground Invasion

Iran's rejection of the peace proposal comes amid speculation that the U.S. military may be planning a ground invasion against the Islamic Republic. However, a report from a major news outlet suggests that a large-scale invasion is unlikely, with a focus instead on limited attacks such as seizing Kharg Island and conducting raids near the Strait of Hormuz. Notably, Trump has yet to approve this plan, but he has indicated interest in capturing Kharg Island, which is a key oil source for Iran in the Persian Gulf. He stated to a financial publication, "To be honest, my biggest desire is to seize Iran's oil reserves, but some foolish people in America ask, 'Why are you doing that?' But they are the foolish ones."
