Trump affirms that he will not extend the ultimatum to negotiate again while Iran rejects the ceasefire proposal

Donald Trump assured this Monday that the deadline set for Tuesday for Iran to close an agreement is final, and added that the Iranian proposal is significant but insufficient. “They have made a proposal, and it is an important proposal. It is a significant step. But it is not enough,” he lamented.

“The war could end very quickly if they do what they have to do. They have to comply with certain things. They know it, and I think they have been negotiating in good faith,” concluded the president of the United States during the traditional Easter event on the White House garden.

Minutes earlier, Iran had rejected Pakistan’s proposal to end the war in the Middle East. Islamabad’s plan, the unsuspected mediator of the negotiations, contemplates declaring an immediate ceasefire before negotiating a broader peace agreement. A dialogue that could last between fifteen and twenty days.

The Islamic Republic conditions the dialogue on the fulfillment of ten demands, according to the IRNA agency. The list sent to the Pakistani mediators includes, among others, the creation of a protocol to guarantee the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and the progressive lifting of international sanctions.

The Iranians also link the end of the conflict to the implementation of cooperation mechanisms aimed at the economic and social reconstruction of the affected countries and the end of the rest of the conflicts in the Middle East, a reference to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

But the main demand, always according to IRNA, is the declaration of “a permanent end to the war in line with Iran’s considerations, while rejecting a ceasefire.” Tehran is not content with momentary cessations of hostilities.

“We can continue the war as long as the political authorities consider it appropriate,” declared Iranian Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia. “The enemy will certainly regret it, because after this war we need to achieve a state of security and not witness another war.”
