The Iranian regime offered the United States a “much better” peace deal within 10 minutes of President Donald Trump canceling talks in Pakistan on April 25.

“They gave us a paper that should have been better and interestingly, immediately, when I canceled it, within 10 minutes, we got a new paper that was much better,” Trump told reporters in Florida on April 25 as he was boarding Air Force One to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington.

The president did not reveal specifics about what was in the paper sent by Iranian leaders, but said the United States remains firm that the Middle Eastern country cannot have a nuclear weapon.

Trump added that the regime “offered a lot” in regard to resolving the nuclear situation but “not enough.”

Scheduled peace talks between the United States and Iran collapsed on Saturday before they started.

Trump abruptly canceled plans to send a delegation consisting of U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan, saying there was confusion among Iranian leadership about who was in charge.

“I just cancelled the trip of my representatives going to Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet with the Iranians,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on April 25.

“Too much time wasted on traveling, too much work! Besides which, there is tremendous infighting and confusion within their ‘leadership.’ Nobody knows who is in charge, including them. Also, we have all the cards, they have none! If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!”

The president suspected heads of the Iranian regime are “fighting not to be the leader, because we knocked out two levels of leaders.”

“But I’ll deal with whoever we have to,” Trump added. “But there’s no reason to wait two days, have people traveling for 16, 17 hours, and we’re not doing it that way.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was already in Pakistan when the discussions were called off.

Araghchi still called the visit a “very fruitful” trip and thanked the country for making “brotherly efforts to bring back peace to our region we very much value.”

Araghchi added that he “shared Iran’s position concerning [a] workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran. Have yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy.”

The United States last week extended its ceasefire with Iran but continued its naval blockade of ships going into and out of the country. U.S. forces have redirected 37 vessels since the blockade started, according to the U.S. Central Command.
