President Donald Trump on Sunday called Iran’s response to the latest peace proposal “totally unacceptable,” posting the rebuke on social media. Trump’s comment came as tensions between Washington, Tehran and regional partners remain high following diplomatic and military exchanges in recent months.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told 60 Minutes that regime change in Iran is a possibility, remarks that underscore growing public debate among U.S. and Israeli leaders about how to respond to Tehran. Netanyahu’s interview was cited by CBS News correspondents Olivia Rinaldi and Courtney Kealy, who reported on both reactions for the network.
The comments highlight the sharp public posturing by top officials as diplomats and allies consider next steps. Trump’s social media message and Netanyahu’s television remarks add pressure to ongoing international efforts to manage the crisis and to any negotiations tied to the proposed plan.
CBS News will continue to follow developments, including any formal statements from Iran about the proposal and responses from U.S. and allied officials.
