# Trump Rejects Iran's Peace Plan, Tehran Responds

On **May 11, 2026**, U.S. President [Donald Trump](https://www.google.com/search?q=donald+trump&kgmid=/m/0cqt90#sv=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) rejected a counterproposal from [Iran](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/03shp) intended to end the ongoing [2026 Iran War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war), dismissing it on Truth Social as **"TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE"**. This rejection has stalled diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan and contributed to a sharp spike in global oil prices.

## Trump's Rejection and Stance

Trump criticized the Iranian response, accusing Tehran of "playing games". His primary objections center on: [5, 6]

- **Nuclear Stockpiles**: Trump insists that Iran's highly enriched uranium must be removed or destroyed. He recently warned that the U.S. [Space Force](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/iran-us-war-news-unacceptable-donald-trump-rejects-irans-peace-plan-then-a-uranium-warning-11476842) is monitoring these sites and will "blow up" anyone who approaches them.
- **Security Conditions**: The U.S. demand includes a complete halt to Iran's nuclear program and an end to its support for regional proxies like [Hezbollah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_Resistance).
- **Military Pressure**: Despite claiming Iran is "militarily defeated," Trump warned that the U.S. could resume strikes on the remaining 30% of its intended targets if a deal is not reached.

## Tehran's Counterproposal

Iran's response, which state media characterized as an alternative to "surrender," included several key demands: [11]

- **Economic Relief**: Immediate lifting of U.S. sanctions and the unfreezing of $20 billion in assets.
- **Maritime Sovereignty**: Official recognition of Iranian control over the [Strait of Hormuz](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-rejects-irans-response-us-peace-proposal-unacceptable-2026-05-11/), including the right to charge transit tolls.
- **War Reparations**: Compensation for damages caused by U.S. and [Israeli strikes](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88550/lebanon-remains-under-israeli-strikes-india-condemns-attack-on-un-peacekeepers), estimated at approximately **$270 billion**.
- **Security Guarantees**: An end to the U.S. naval blockade and formal guarantees against future attacks.

## Regional Impact and Next Steps

- **[Energy Crisis](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113731/how-is-the-ongoing-energy-crisis-reshaping-international-relations-and-trade-dynamics)**: Following the stalemate, oil prices jumped over **$4 a barrel**, with Brent crude exceeding $105, as the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed to international shipping.
- **[Ongoing Conflict](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113791/how-has-the-ongoing-conflict-in-ukraine-impacted-international-relations-recently)**: While a fragile ceasefire has generally held since last month, sporadic drone strikes have been reported in Kuwait and the UAE.
- **Diplomatic Activity**: Trump is scheduled to visit [China](https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/iran-israel-war-us-ceasefire-talks-strait-of-hormuz-issue-live-updates-may-11-2026/article70964212.ece) from May 13–15, where he is expected to pressure President Xi Jinping to use leverage over Tehran to end the war.
