Tehran: Iran announced on Sunday that it has received a response from the United States regarding its 14-point proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war and is currently reviewing the feedback. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei shared this update, noting that the reply was delivered via Pakistani mediators, as reported by state broadcaster IRIB.

According to Anadolu Agency, Baghaei stated, "The Americans have provided a response to the Pakistani side regarding Iran's plan, and we are reviewing it." He emphasized that the Iranian proposal is centered on ending the conflict and explicitly excludes nuclear-related issues. Baghaei clarified, "No nuclear issue has been mentioned in Iran's plan to end the war. At this stage, we are not conducting nuclear negotiations."

The semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Saturday that Iran had submitted its 14-point response to the US proposal through a Pakistani intermediary. The Iranian reply addressed the nine-point US proposal, focusing on ending the war. The report indicated that while Washington proposed a two-month ceasefire, Tehran insisted on resolving issues within a 30-day timeframe, emphasizing efforts to conclude the war rather than prolonging a truce.

The Iranian proposal, as reported, includes measures such as guarantees against military action, the withdrawal of US forces from areas surrounding Iran, lifting the naval blockade and sanctions, unfreezing Iranian assets, payment of compensation, and ending hostilities across multiple fronts, including Lebanon. Additionally, the proposal addresses the framework related to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil and gas that has been blocked since the conflict's onset on February 28.

Pakistan has played a mediating role, having facilitated a ceasefire between Iran and the US in early April and arranged historic peace talks in Islamabad. The country remains committed to maintaining its mediatory role until the conflict reaches a resolution.
