President Donald Trump has swiftly dismissed Iran's response to a U.S. peace proposal, calling it 'unacceptable.' This rejection comes after the U.S. aimed to re-open negotiations amid a 10-week conflict. Iran's response, released on Sunday, focused on ending the war on multiple fronts, particularly in Lebanon, where U.S. ally Israel is engaged with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
