Iran Seeks Ceasefire Response as US-Iran Talks Intensify
US and Iranian officials are back in indirect talks, attempting to end seven months of war. Diplomatic efforts have intensified as Tehran pushes for a ceasefire response from Washington.
A revised framework presented by Iran gives the US four to five days to release frozen funds, lift sanctions on oil exports, and end the naval blockade of Iranian ports. The proposal also calls for nuclear talks to begin within seven days, with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz tied to its implementation.
US President Donald Trump rejected the proposal as 'unacceptable', stating Iran was seeking a swift deal due to economic pressure. Speaking at the White House on Monday, he confirmed that US officials had spoken with mediators but provided no further details.
