Iran’s chief negotiator warned the United States Tuesday to accept Tehran's 14-point peace proposal for the Middle East war or face "failure."
The defiant message came after U.S. President Donald Trump rejected the latest counteroffer from Iran and said that a fragile cease-fire in place since April 8 was on "life support."
But Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Washington had to accept Tehran's "rights" if it wanted to end more than two months of conflict, as peace talks remain deadlocked after an initial round failed to produce a breakthrough last month.
"There is no alternative but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as laid out in the 14-point proposal. Any other approach will be completely inconclusive; nothing but one failure after another," said Ghalibaf in a post on X.
"The longer they drag their feet, the more American taxpayers will pay for it."
