DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran sent its response to the latest U.S. proposal to end the Iran war via Pakistani mediators on Sunday, but U.S. President Donald Trump quickly rejected it in a social media post as “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” — the latest setback to efforts to resolve the standoff in the Persian Gulf that has throttled shipping and sent energy prices soaring.
Iranian state television reported that Tehran rejected the U.S. proposal as amounting to surrender, insisting instead on “war reparations by the U.S., full Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, an end to sanctions, and the release of seized Iranian assets.”
Washington’s latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the strait and roll back Iran’s nuclear program.
Trump’s rejection of the Iranian response included no details. In an earlier post, he accused Tehran of “playing games” with the United States for nearly 50 years, adding: “They will be laughing no longer!”
Trump is giving diplomacy “every chance we possibly can before going back to hostilities,” the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, told ABC earlier.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out legally as he theoretically doesn’t have the legal right to continue without congress’ approval.
The fascist child rapist is well known for following the law.
That’s why they ‘stopped’ operation epic fury and started ‘project freedom.’ a legally distinct, totally different operation. 🙄
I don’t buy it for a minute but the courts will bend over backwards to give trump what he wants anyways.
Lol, is Congress gonna finally do their job? I doubt it.
Easy, just say it is an emergency and continue anyway. That’s how it works in the US

Congress: keeps sucking Trump’s dick
Unfortunately legality is only a thing if there is someone able to enforce it and it seems like no one in this country is able to enforce it since congress is refusing to rein him in and the Supreme Court is in his pocket.
If without Congress this war is illegal, none of the soldiers need obey any orders to continue it, right?
Soldiers didn’t have to follow orders to strike civilian boats in the Carribean either, but here we are with almost 200 dead civilians.
Well that’s what Mark Kelly and the other senators told them in that video they made… but apparently reciting the UCMJ is considered “seditious behavior” according to the pedophile.
You mean the orders given by the President who is the head of the military?
There WAS a thing called ‘checks and balances’… way back before republicans thought they had [and apparently succeeded at gaining] total and complete control of the government however they saw fit…any else old enough to remember this?
Well, back then there were certain steps a president had to ho through before just being able to DO anything they wanted, and if they went ahead anyway there are other branches to check and balances that power. This is to ensure we don’t end up with a fucking King again.
If by “interesting” you mean hilarious, we agree
I mean yeah. The moment the Iran war is over, the attention will be back on the Epstein files and Pedo Don.
It’s why he started the war. Why would he want to stop it?
