Iran responds to Trump's rejection of its negotiating proposal: "His satisfaction is not our goal"

Informed Iranian sources confirmed that the position expressed by US President Donald Trump regarding the latest Iranian proposals is not important to decision-makers in Tehran. The sources clarified that Iranian policy is not based on formulating initiatives aimed at gaining the satisfaction of the American administration, but rather on national interests and the strategic vision of the state.

The sources indicated that Trump's dissatisfaction is considered, from an Iranian perspective, evidence of the strength and quality of the proposed plan, as American criticism is seen as a testament to Tehran's adherence to its rights. They stressed that any attempt to pressure through media statements will not change the essence of the Iranian position regarding the ongoing negotiations.

In contrast, the US President had explicitly announced his rejection of the response Washington received from Tehran via the Pakistani mediator, describing it as completely unacceptable. Trump stated on his social media platform that he had reviewed the terms of the response provided by those he described as representatives of Iran, confirming that what was stated in it does not meet American expectations for ending the conflict.

Regarding coordination with allies, Trump revealed that he had held telephone conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which he described as very positive and discussed the Iranian response in detail. Trump clarified in press statements that coordination with the Israeli side remains a fundamental pillar in dealing with the Iranian file and developments in the region.

The US President concluded his statements by emphasizing that the negotiation file with Iran falls within his direct and exclusive responsibilities, indicating that he will not allow his powers to be overstepped in this regard. This debate comes at a sensitive time when the region is witnessing intensive diplomatic movements led by international and regional parties to bring viewpoints closer and prevent a wider escalation of the situation.

When Trump expresses his dissatisfaction with a plan, it is often an indication that the plan is better.
