Trump rejects Iran's ceasefire response as 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!' on Truth Social

President Trump publicly rejected Iran's response to the U.S. ceasefire proposal via Truth Social on May 10, 2026, calling it 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!' In his post, Trump accused Iran of 'tapping us along' for 47 years, 'killing our people with their roadside bombs,' and claimed Iran recently 'wiped out 42,000 innocent, unarmed protesters' while 'laughing at our now great again country.' The rejection came hours after Tehran sent its response through Pakistani mediators. Trump provided no specific details about what made Iran's response unacceptable. The claim of 42,000 protesters killed appears to be fabricated—no credible reports support this figure, and it vastly exceeds documented casualties from any recent Iranian crackdown. The inflammatory rhetoric and unsubstantiated casualty figures escalated tensions during fragile ceasefire negotiations, representing a significant departure from diplomatic norms by conducting sensitive foreign policy via social media posts.
