President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to reject the latest peace proposal from Iran, and termed the regime’s violence against its own citizens and its pursuit of nuclear capabilities as “unacceptable” while adding that the month-long ceasefire between the US and Iran is on “massive life support”, fuelling concerns of a resumption of hostilities.“It was just unacceptable,” Trump said while calling Iran’s new truce proposal a “piece of garbage”.&nbsp;As per reports, the US proposal sought an end to active fighting before broader negotiations could begin on contentious issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme.Asked where the ceasefire stands, Trump told reporters, “I would call it the weakest right now, after reading that piece of garbage they sent us.
