Trump says Iran has not yet ‘paid a big enough price’ as he reviews new peace proposal
Donald Trump is reviewing a new 14-point peace proposal from Iran, which includes demands such as the lifting of sanctions and the withdrawal of US forces. Despite a ceasefire holding since early April, Trump stated Iran has not 'paid a big enough price' and hinted at possible renewed military action. Iran insists the 'ball is in the United States' court' and remains open to diplomacy or confrontation.
