Iran dismisses Trump’s call for peace
Bangkok Post
|October 15, 2025
Iran said yesterday that US President Donald Trump's call for a peace deal with Tehran was inconsistent with Washington's actions, referring to its strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June.
-
“The desire for peace and dialogue expressed by the US president is at odds with the hostile and criminal behaviour of the United States towards the Iranian people,’ the foreign ministry said in a statement.
In mid-June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign onIran, striking nuclear and military facilities as well as residential areas and killing more than 1,000 people.
‘The 12-day war with Israel, during which the US struck the key nuclear facilities in Iran, derailed high-level nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks that killed dozens in Israel. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in place since June 24,
During a Monday speech at the Israeli Knesset, Mr Trump said he wanted a peace deal with Iran and that the ball was in Tehran’s court for any agreement to come to pass.
