Trump declares Iran's 14-point ceasefire response "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE," threatening to resume strikes
President Trump publicly rejected Iran's 14-point ceasefire framework on May 10, 2026, posting on Truth Social that Iran's response was "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE" and warning that the US would resume military operations unless Iran submitted to a new proposal within 48 hours. Trump told reporters he was "not satisfied" with Iran's framework, specifically objecting to demands for sanctions relief and reparations before a ceasefire took effect. The rejection ended the Pakistani-mediated diplomatic channel temporarily and led to a resumption of US naval operations in the Persian Gulf.
