Key takeaways
- They will be laughing no longer, Trump wrote in a Sunday post on Truth Social.
- The message comes as Iranian state media reported that Tehran submitted its response to the U.S. peace proposal through Pakistan, who has been serving as a mediator throughout the conflict.
- Other outlets reported this week that the Trump administration is also seeking a moratorium on Iranian nuclear enrichment in exchange for the U.S. lifting sanctions and releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds.

They will be laughing no longer, Trump wrote in a Sunday post on Truth Social.
