In an interview Sunday for Israel's 12th Channel, Trump stressed that Tehran's counterproposal, linked to Hormuz Strait and the nuclear programme, was not an opportunity for the US.

The new Iranian proposal is not acceptable to me. I studied it, studied everything, wasn't acceptable to”, Trump said. He also explained he would not easily accept proposals from Tehran.

The Iraqis want to make a deal, but I'm not happy with what they offered”, The president added.

The Iranian proposal was made public after Tehran announced that the US had responded with a 14-point plan presented through the Pakistani mediator, and that the Iranian side was examining Washington's response. However, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that “in this phase, we are not conducting negotiations for the nuclear programme. ”

The Iranian proposal, which responds to a nine-point plan submitted by Washington, called for a complete disruption of hostilities, rejecting the US proposal for a two-month ceasefire and demanding that key issues be resolved within 30 days. Tehran stressed that the priority should be the outcome of the war, rather than a temporary ceasefire.

Israel wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me and Bebe, with this order of”, Trump said, adding that Israel needs a prime minister who can focus on war rather than on <x0-seconds. ”
