Iran says it has received US response to its latest offer for talks

Tehran has officially confirmed receipt of Washington's response to its latest peace proposal, a development that could signal a shift in the protracted diplomatic standoff. The response was reportedly delivered through Pakistani intermediaries, a channel that has often facilitated communication between the two nations.

At this stage, we do not have nuclear negotiations.

This move comes after President Trump expressed skepticism, suggesting he would likely reject the Iranian offer, arguing that Iran had not yet "paid a big enough price." The Iranian Foreign Ministry has stated that it is now reviewing the US response, the specifics of which remain undisclosed. This exchange highlights the complex and often indirect nature of negotiations between Iran and the United States.

I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.

Iran's proposal, as understood, aims to de-escalate tensions by prioritizing an end to the current conflict and the lifting of blockades before addressing nuclear issues. This approach contrasts with Washington's demand for stringent restrictions on Iran's nuclear program as a prerequisite for ending the war. The divergence on the sequencing of these critical issues remains a significant hurdle.

They told me about the concept of the deal. They're going to give me the exact wording now.

From our perspective, this is another chapter in a long and arduous diplomatic process. While international coverage might focus on the potential for renewed conflict or the intricacies of nuclear negotiations, we see this as a critical moment for regional stability. The focus on ending the war and resolving the shipping crisis first resonates deeply with the Iranian public, who have endured significant hardship. The careful review of the US response, and the potential for further dialogue, represents a cautious hope for a path towards peace that prioritizes immediate relief and de-escalation.

I don't want to say that. I mean, I can’t tell that to a reporter. If they misbehave, if they do something bad, right now we’ll see. But it’s a possibility that could happen.
