Iran sends response to latest US proposal through Pakistani mediators

TEHRAN — Iran sent its response on Sunday to the latest US proposal aimed at ending the war in the region through Pakistani mediators, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran's response to the latest US proposal for ending the war was sent to the Pakistani mediator today,” IRNA reported.

The agency said the current phase of negotiations would focus on efforts to end the conflict in the region, but it did not disclose details of Iran’s response or the contents of the proposal.

The development comes amid ongoing regional tensions following US and Israeli strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, which triggered attacks by Tehran against Israel and US allies in the Gulf region, alongside the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

A ceasefire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation efforts, but negotiations held later in Islamabad failed to secure a permanent agreement.

The truce was subsequently extended by US President Donald Trump without a specified deadline, allowing diplomatic efforts to continue toward a broader settlement to the conflict.
