Iran said on Sunday it was carefully reviewing a US response to its 14-point peace proposal, which was conveyed through Pakistan, while its foreign ministry emphasised that no nuclear negotiations were underway with Washington.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed that Tehran had received the American position on the proposal via Islamabad and said authorities were conducting a thorough assessment. He described Iran’s plan as focused entirely on ending the ongoing regional conflict, reducing tensions and laying the groundwork for lasting peace.
“At this stage, there are no nuclear talks between Iran and the United States,” Baghaei said, adding that diplomatic contacts were nonetheless being maintained through various channels.
Key demands in Iran’s 14-point plan include:
US military withdrawal from areas near Iran’s borders.
Lifting of the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
End to Israeli operations in Lebanon.
A comprehensive deal is to be concluded within 30 days.
Focus on a full end to hostilities, not an extended ceasefire.
