Iran Receives Official US Response to Proposal for Ending Seven-Month War

Iran has reportedly received an official US response to its latest proposal for ending the seven-month war, according to Iranian officials. The details of the response remain unclear, and it is unknown whether it represents a rejection.

In a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the latest development, stating that Iran would 'firmly stand up for the rights of the Iranian people' in pursuing a deal with the US. The agreement, he emphasized, must be based on a 'win-win strategy.'

The US response comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented his proposal to US officials during last week's UN General Assembly in New York. Araghchi had suggested reopening the Strait of Hormuz within a week if the US agreed to lift its blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen assets, and waive sanctions on oil sales.

However, Trump swiftly rejected this proposal, stating that Iran wanted to make a deal because it was 'losing so badly' but that its offer 'would not be acceptable.'
