Iran insists on diplomatic solution after Trump rejects peace plan
Iran announced a peace proposal last week at the UN General Assembly in New York
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has stated that the conflict with the United States and Israel can only be resolved through diplomacy. The Iranian government presented a peace proposal at the United Nations General Assembly, which was transmitted to the Americans via Qatari mediators. However, US President Donald Trump rejected the plan, arguing that Iran's desperation is driving their push for an agreement on the key waterway, the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump claimed that the Iranians are losing badly and want to make a deal to open the Hormuz Strait immediately. However, mediators facilitating the talks with the United States have not officially relayed a rejection of the plan. Iran has not yet decided on the matter. The conflict has disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, harming the global economy.
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran is ready for talks on its nuclear program and other issues but will not accept bullying or coercion.
