WASHINGTON (The Thursday Times) — Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest response, describing it as “totally unacceptable” in a sharply worded post that appeared to signal fresh strain in the diplomatic track involving Tehran.
In the Truth Social post, Trump said he had “just read the response” from Iran’s so-called representatives and made clear that he was dissatisfied with what had been conveyed.
“I don’t like it,” he wrote, before adding that the response was “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.”
The statement was brief, but its tone was unmistakable. It suggested that whatever message had been passed from the Iranian side had failed to meet Trump’s expectations at a sensitive moment for regional diplomacy.
The post also comes as attention remains fixed on whether negotiations can move beyond public signals and private messages towards a workable de-escalation framework.
For now, Trump’s words appear to harden the atmosphere around the talks, placing renewed focus on Iran’s next move and on the role of intermediaries trying to keep the diplomatic channel alive.∎
