Trump says ‘not satisfied’ with Iran’s new proposal

Trump says Iran has delivered a new proposal aimed at ending conflict but says ’I’m not satisfied’ with terms presented.He stated, ” “We just had a conversation with Iran. Let’s see what happens, but I would say that I’m not happy… They’ve got to come up with the right deal. At this moment, I’m not satisfied with what they’re offering.”

The Trump administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended because of the ceasefire that began in early April, an interpretation that would allow the White House to avoid the need to seek congressional approval.
The statement furthers an argument laid out by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during testimony in the Senate earlier Thursday, when he said the ceasefire effectively paused the war. Under that rationale, the administration has not yet met the requirement mandated by a 1973 law to seek formal approval from Congress for military action that extends beyond 60 days.Also Read: Trump threatens to raise tariffs on EU cars, trucks to 25%

A senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the administration’s position, said for purposes of that law, “the hostilities that began on Saturday, Feb. 28 have terminated.” The official said the U.S. military and Iran have not exchanged fire since the two-week ceasefire that began April 7.
