Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have hit a wall once again. As WLT Report previously covered the United States sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war. The negotions of the plan were reportedly made by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Now Iran state media has revealed Iranian officials have rejected the new plan. AP had the full scoop: Iran’s defiance came as Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran and Washington deployed paratroopers and more Marines to the region.Iranian state television’s English-language broadcaster, Press TV, quoted an anonymous official as saying Iran rejected America’s ceasefire proposal. Press TV’s report came after Pakistan transmitted the proposal to Iran.“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” Press TV quoted the official as saying. The official added Tehran will continue its “heavy blows” across the Mideast.Press TV, like all of state TV channels controlled by hard-liners, offered its own five-point plan from the official who rejected the US proposal. It included a halt to killings of its officials, means to make sure no other war is waged against it, reparations for the war, the end of hostilities and Iran’s “exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.” Those measures, particularly reparations and its continued chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, likely will be unacceptable to the White House as energy supplies worldwide remain affected by the war. Iran completely rejects Trump's 15-point cease-fire plan – and makes wild demands instead https://t.co/VgmjCWyZkM pic.twitter.com/oJSa2pVlTX — New York Post (@nypost) March 25, 2026 Iran is requesting that JD Vance continue negotiations. The New York Post reported more on Iran’s request and the White House’s response: Vice President JD Vance is quietly emerging as a key player in potential Iran talks as Tehran signals it wants to deal directly with him, sources familiar with discussions told The Post — but the White House insists only President Trump gets to decide who negotiates for the US. The behind-the-scenes insight positions Vance — long seen as a skeptic of foreign military entanglements — as a possible lead negotiator, reflecting both his growing clout inside the administration and a belief among Iranian officials that he represents a different kind of American interlocutor. While Vance would reportedly be Iran’s pick for preferred negotiator, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post that it’s Trump’s choice to decide who that will be — not Tehran’s.
