- Reports indicate that negotiators are working toward a brief memorandum that could formally halt hostilities
- U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran appeared willing to engage in negotiations
Iran has confirmed it is reviewing a fresh proposal from the United States aimed at ending the ongoing Gulf conflict, as both sides appear to be edging closer to a preliminary agreement.
According to Iranian officials quoted by local media, Eko Hot Blog gathered that a response will soon be communicated through Pakistan, which has been acting as a key intermediary and previously hosted the only round of peace negotiations between the parties.
Reports indicate that negotiators are working toward a brief memorandum that could formally halt hostilities, while more complex issues, such as Iran’s nuclear programme, would be addressed in subsequent talks.
Speaking at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran appeared willing to engage in negotiations, adding that Washington would assess whether any deal meets its expectations.
Sources familiar with the mediation process revealed that the proposed framework includes multiple points covering a ceasefire, with follow-up discussions expected to focus on reopening maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz, easing U.S. sanctions, and setting limits on Iran’s nuclear activities.
A source involved in the talks expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached soon.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu said he planned to speak with Trump, noting that both leaders agree on the need to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, including the removal of enriched uranium.
However, Tehran has consistently denied pursuing nuclear arms, maintaining that its programme is for peaceful purposes.
