Iranian authorities say they receive the official US response to a proposal aimed at ending the Middle East war. Iranian state media report that the reply is presented to President Masoud Pezeshkian at a cabinet meeting, with Iranian officials saying the communication comes after the United States had previously rejected the proposal publicly.
Sources describe a gap between US remarks to the press and Iran’s receipt of a formal message. Channel NewsAsia reports that Iran had been awaiting an official response through Qatari mediators after Donald Trump rejected the plan. The Inquirer.net report adds detail that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presents the American side’s proposal to President Pezeshkian, and government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani confirms the exchange without disclosing the content of the US reply.
The accounts also place the development in the wider context of renewed indirect US-Iran engagement, with Inquirer.net noting that such indirect talks resumed last week on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly after seven months of conflict. Across outlets, the exact contents of the US response are not specified.
