US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (local time) with regard to another negotiation proposal from Tehran that he “could not imagine that it would be acceptable”. He described a resumption of war as an “option.” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said the US had a choice between an “impossible” military operation or a “bad deal” with the Islamic Republic.
US President Donald Trump has announced that he wants to examine a plan submitted by Iran to end the war. However, he could not imagine that this plan would be acceptable, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Iran has “not yet paid a sufficiently high price for what it has done to humanity and the world over the last 47 years,” he said, justifying his forecast. At the same time, Trump warned that there was still the possibility of attacking Iran again if the Iranian leadership misbehaved.
On Friday it became known that Iran had handed over a new proposal to mediators in Pakistan, according to the state news agency Irna. However, US President Donald Trump was dissatisfied with this. Initially, nothing was officially announced about the contents of the new initiative.
Iran submitted a 14-point plan in response to a US proposal, Tasnim news agency close to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards reported. The Iranian proposal was transmitted through a Pakistani intermediary and called for “an end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon,” it said. There is currently a fragile ceasefire between the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia and Israel.
Despite a strong warning from the Chief of General Staff, the Israeli army is having difficulty stopping suspected looting by soldiers in southern Lebanon, according to media reports. The Israeli newspaper Yediot Achronot quoted an unnamed reservist as saying he had witnessed several cases of looting in Lebanon.
“We met a lot of reserve units at the border, they took everything with them – weapons, souvenirs, jewelry, blankets, pictures,” reported the soldier. In another case, however, he experienced how an Israeli commander prevented soldiers from taking looted property into Israel. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz also reported that soldiers had looted private houses and businesses in Lebanon whose residents or owners had fled the fighting. There had already been similar reports during the Gaza war.
