Trump says military strikes on Iran remain "a possibility" as he reviews Tehran's 14-point peace proposal

US President Donald Trump has said there is a "possibility" of fresh military strikes against Iran, warning action could follow if Tehran "misbehaves" or "does something bad," even as he reviews a new peace proposal from the country. Speaking to reporters while boarding Air Force One in South Florida on Saturday, Trump said further strikes remain on the table. "If they misbehave, if they do something bad, but right now, we will see. It's a possibility that could happen, certainly," he said. "Well, I'd like to eliminate it, yeah, I'd like to. It'd be a start for them to build up again. And yeah, I would like to eliminate it," he added, when asked if Washington will continue to target Iran's missile-production infrastructure. The US president also confirmed that he is reviewing a newly submitted proposal from Iran, but expressed doubts over its acceptability. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can't imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years." The post came shortly after he spoke to reporters, where he was asked whether he had seen the 14-point proposal. Trump responded, "No,I haven't. I'm looking at it up here," adding, "Yeah. I'll let you know about it later." "They want to make a deal... They are having a hard time figuring out who their leader is... I'm looking at it... They told me about the concept of the deal. They're going to give me the exact wording now," he added. Responding to questions on whether the US could step back, Trump said, "Well I wouldn't have to. I didn't say that. I said that if we left right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild. But we're not leaving right now. We're going to do it so nobody has to go back in 2 years or 5 years." Iran's 14-point proposal According to Iranian media reports, Tehran has submitted a 14-point plan aimed at ending the conflict across the region, including Lebanon. The proposal, reportedly sent via a Pakistani intermediary, calls for a comprehensive resolution within 30 days rather than a temporary ceasefire. It includes demands such as guarantees against military aggression, withdrawal of US forces from around Iran, lifting of sanctions, release of frozen assets, and a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials said the proposal is aimed at a permanent end to the conflict. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said, "Now the ball is in the United States' court to choose either the path of diplomacy or continuation of a confrontational approach." The developments come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the US maintaining pressure through military and economic measures. The US has warned shipping companies against making payments to Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, cautioning that such transactions could invite sanctions. It has also imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports since April 13, disrupting oil exports. Meanwhile, Trump has also signaled a possible reduction of US troops in Germany as disagreements persist with European allies over the Iran conflict. "We're going to cut way down, and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000," he added.
