Trump Claims Iran "Begging for Deal," Says They Offered Him Ayatollah Role

President Trump claimed Iran is "begging" to make a deal and astonishingly stated that Iran once proposed making him the country's Supreme Leader, an offer he refused. This comes as the US confirmed offering a 15-point peace plan to Iran, which Tehran has publicly rejected, calling the terms unacceptable. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated that while a deal is welcome, the US will "continue negotiating with bombs," indicating sustained military pressure. The conflict shows no signs of abating, with diplomacy stalled by deep mistrust and Iran's refusal to negotiate under what it sees as dictated terms.

"They are begging for a deal," says Trump after claiming Iran wanted him as new Ayatollah

Trump claims Iran is desperate for a deal and once offered to make him Supreme Leader, as US proposes peace plan and Iran rejects terms.

"They are begging to make a deal. we'll see if we can make the right deal. - Donald Trump"

Washington DC, March 26

As the US confirmed offering a 15 point peace plan to Iran the spotlight was once again on President Trump. At a meeting of his cabinet the President once again claimed that Iran was 'begging' to make a deal. Iran has officially rejected the 15 point peace plan saying it will not let the US President dictate terms.

"26 days in, we're extremely--really, a lot--ahead of schedule. The Iranian regime is now admitting to itself that they have been decisively defeated. They are begging to make a deal. we'll see if we can make the right deal," Trump said on Thursday.

This claim came shortly after Trump claimed the Iranians had asked him to become the new Supreme leader.

Speaking at the Nation Republican Congressional Committee he said, "Iran proposed making me Supreme Leader. I said No. Thankyou. They were so insisting. They want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by United States. There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head of Iran. And I tell you. We are winning so big," he had said.

In a highly unconventional claim that has drawn intense global scrutiny, US President Donald Trump said Iran once offered to make him a new Ayatollah, a senior religious authority, an offer he said he "refused" outright.

Meanwhile, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that the bombing will continue even as he welcomed the propect of a deal

"We welcome a deal, and we have the ultimate dealmaker to make it happen -- but in the meantime, as I said yesterday, the Department of War will continue negotiating with bombs," Hegseth said.

On Wednesday, Iran publicly rejected a US-backed peace plan that reportedly included a 15-point proposal seeking a temporary ceasefire and other terms for de-escalation. Tehran's leadership described the proposal as unacceptable, calling instead for its own conditions for ending hostilities and asserting it would not negotiate terms that compromise Iranian sovereignty.

At the Cabinet meeting, Trump reiterated his belief that diplomacy remains possible but warned that military pressure would continue unless Iran changes course. The White House said the administration was "committed to pursuing all avenues" to halt the conflict, even as the region braces for further instability.

The war shows no signs of abating, with international efforts to broker a ceasefire complicated by deep mistrust and competing strategic interests on all sides.

The arrogance is astounding. "Negotiating with bombs" is not diplomacy, it's coercion. As an Indian, I worry how this instability affects oil prices and regional security. We have good relations with both Iran and the US—this puts us in a difficult position. Hope cooler heads prevail. 🙏

Trump's claims are for his domestic audience before elections. No Iranian, no matter what they think of their government, would ask a foreign leader to be their Ayatollah. It's pure fantasy. The real story is the suffering of common people caught in this geopolitical game.

While the rhetoric is extreme, there might be a kernel of truth that Iran wants to end this conflict. The 15-point plan could be a starting point, but it needs genuine negotiation, not threats. The world doesn't need another prolonged war.

This is peak Trump. Making everything about himself. India should use its diplomatic channels quietly to encourage dialogue. We have Chabahar port interests and millions of diaspora in the Gulf. Stability is crucial for us.

Respectfully, the article could do a better job of fact-checking these outrageous claims before presenting them. It gives them oxygen. The focus should be on the rejected peace plan and what it means for the region, not on theatrical statements.
