As he prepared to depart the UAE, President Trump said the U.S. has sent a proposal to Iran over a new nuclear deal after multiple rounds of talks between the two countries. Details of the plan remain unknown, and Tehran has refused U.S. demands that it give up its uranium enrichment program. Earlier this week, Iran’s president condemned Trump’s “bullying” after the U.S. president accused Iran of “sponsoring terror” and fighting “bloody proxy wars.” This is Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
President Masoud Pezeshkian: “When he says we have missiles and bombs that are unimaginable, are we causing a bloody war, or are you the ones who came to give bombs and missiles to the countries of the region? Who wants countries to fight each other by giving these weapons, bombs and missiles and then claims that 'We are peace-loving. We want peace to be implemented in society'? … Did we destroy 60,000 women and children in Gaza in a year under the bombs and missiles they had? Did we cut off their access to food, water and medicine? Are we a danger?”
