Trump reaction irrelevant, Iran source says on US rejection

• A source cited by Tasnim says Donald Trump’s reaction to a proposed plan has no influence on Iran’s decision-making.
• The source adds that Iranian planning is not shaped to satisfy the US president and that disapproval from him may signal strength in the proposal.

A source described as informed by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency said that US President Donald Trump’s response to a recent proposal “does not matter” in shaping Iran’s position.

The source suggested that when Trump expresses dissatisfaction with a plan, it is often interpreted in Tehran as an indication that the proposal may be stronger rather than weaker.

“Whenever Trump shows discontent with the plan, it is usually a sign that the plan is better,” the source said, according to Tasnim.

The same source emphasized that Iran is not drafting its policies with the goal of gaining approval from the US president.

“Trump’s reaction is irrelevant,” the source said. “No one in Iran is working on designing a plan to please the American president.”

The remarks reflect ongoing tension in rhetoric between Washington and Tehran as diplomatic efforts remain uncertain and both sides continue to exchange public criticism over proposed arrangements.

The comments come amid heightened political messaging surrounding US-Iran relations, where signals from both capitals are often used to project strength domestically as negotiations or indirect talks continue in the background.
