Trump not happy with latest Iran proposal to end the war, U.S. official says

U.S. President Donald Trump is unhappy with the latest Iranian proposal on resolving the two-month ‌war, a U.S. official said, dampening hopes for a resolution to the conflict that ​has disrupted energy supplies, fuelled inflation, and killed thousands. Iran’s latest proposal would set aside discussion ⁠of Iran’s nuclear program until the war is ended and disputes over shipping from the Gulf are resolved.

That is unlikely to satisfy the U.S., which says nuclear issues must be dealt with from the outset, and Mr. Trump was unhappy with Iran’s ‌proposal for that reason, a U.S. official briefed on the President’s Monday (April 27, 2026) meeting with his advisers said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said the U.S. “will not negotiate ‌through the press” and has “been clear about our red lines” as the Trump administration looks to ‌end ⁠the war against Iran it began in February alongside Israel.
