Iran receives a US reply to its seven-day ceasefire plan after Trump rejected it
October 1, 2026
Iranian officials say a US reply to Tehran's proposal for a seven-day ceasefire has arrived, days after Trump publicly rejected the plan.
Iran has been at war with the United States and Israel since February 28, and its currency has repeatedly hit record lows during the conflict.
Key facts
- An official cited by Reuters said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi got a U.S. reply on the seven-day truce plan, which is meant to build confidence between Washington and Tehran.
AP News reports that officials in Tehran said on Wednesday a formal American answer to their latest offer had arrived. They gave no detail on what it contained or whether it turned the plan down. Reuters describes the reply as feedback on a seven-day plan meant to build trust between the two sides, and CBS News, citing Reuters, reports that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received it.
The answer follows a public rejection. AP News reports that Trump called the offer unacceptable and said Iran wanted a deal because it was losing badly. “It’s going to end very soon, one way or the other,” said Trump, according to AP News. CBS News reports that the two sides now disagree over the order in which the plan's steps would happen, and that Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, ordered the Iranian delegation out of the US one day ahead of schedule.
The outlets agree that a US reply reached Tehran. Its contents, and whether it amounts to a rejection, are still developing.
“It’s going to end very soon, one way or the other,” Trump said.
