Iran has responded after former U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Tehran’s counterproposal to Washington’s ceasefire plan. The Iranian state broadcaster IRIB said the U.S. proposal amounted to Iran’s submission to Trump’s greed. The statement was released on IRIB’s Telegram channel on Monday.

According to the report, Iran’s counterproposal emphasized the fundamental rights of the Iranian nation. Tehran’s recent proposal called for U.S. compensation for war damages and reaffirmed Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. It also reiterated the need for lifting sanctions and releasing Iran’s frozen assets and properties.

The exchange highlights continued tension between Tehran and Washington over sovereignty, sanctions, and accountability for conflict-related losses, as reported by Al Jazeera.
