Iran says the \u2018ball is in the United States\u2019 court\u2019 as Trump says he is likely to reject new proposal from Tehran
Donald Trump said on Saturday he was going to review a new peace proposal from Tehran but cast doubt over its prospects, saying Iran had not yet \u201cpaid a big enough price\u201d.
Two semiofficial Iranian news outlets, Tasnim and Fars, believed to be close to Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, said Iran<\/a> had sent the US a new 14-point proposal via Pakistan.
\u201cI\u2019ll let you know about it later,\u201d Trump said of the proposal on Saturday, before boarding Air Force One, adding that \u201cthey\u2019re going to give me the exact wording now\u201d.
Shortly after speaking to reporters, Trump posted on social media about the new proposal, saying he \u201ccan\u2019t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.\u201d
Trump rejected a previous Iranian proposal this week<\/a>. However a ceasefire in the war<\/a> \u2013 launched by the United States and Israel in late February \u2013 has been in effect since 8 April, with one failed round of peace talks having taken place in Pakistan.
Iran\u2019s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi told diplomats in Tehran \u201cthe ball is in the United States\u2019 court to choose the path of diplomacy or the continuation of a confrontational approach\u201d.
Iran, he said, was \u201cprepared for both paths\u201d.
Washington has repeatedly said it will not end the war without a deal that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon<\/a>, the primary aim Trump cited when he launched strikes in February in the midst of nuclear talks. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.
Reuters and other news organisations have reported over the past week that Tehran is proposing to reopen the strait before nuclear issues are resolved.
Iranian media said Tehran\u2019s latest 14-point proposal included the withdrawal of US forces from areas surrounding Iran, lifting the US blockade on the strait of Hormuz, releasing Iran\u2019s frozen assets, payment of compensation, lifting sanctions and ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, as well as a new control mechanism for the strait.
Speaking to reporters in Florida on Saturday, Trump suggested new military action against Iran was on the table.
\u201cIf they misbehave, if they do something bad, but right now, we\u2019ll see,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s a possibility that could happen, certainly.\u201d
Elsewhere, the US warned shipping companies they could face sanctions for paying Iran to pass safely through the strait of Hormuz, adding pressure in the standoff over control of it.
Iran has maintained a stranglehold on the strait<\/a> since the war began, choking major flows of oil, gas and fertiliser to the world economy. The US has responded with a naval blockade of Iranian ports<\/a>, depriving Tehran of oil revenue it needs to shore up its ailing economy.
Oil prices are about 50% above prewar levels.
The US on Friday warned against payments to Iran, not only in cash but also in \u201cdigital assets, offsets, informal swaps, or other in-kind payments,\u201d including charitable donations and payments at Iranian embassies.
