Iran announced on Monday that it has delivered its response to a new U.S. proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, signaling that diplomatic contacts between the two sides remain active despite reports describing Washington’s demands as excessive.
Speaking at a press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran had conveyed its concerns to the United States, following up on statements made a day earlier.
Baghaei confirmed that communication with Washington is continuing through indirect channels, specifically via Pakistani mediation, without providing further details on the substance of the exchanges.

According to a Pakistani source cited by Reuters, Islamabad forwarded a revised Iranian proposal to the United States late Sunday, as efforts to reach a settlement appear to be facing persistent obstacles.
The source indicated that time is a critical factor, warning that both sides continue to adjust their positions, complicating the path toward a final agreement.
Despite ongoing negotiations, the shifting demands from both Washington and Tehran suggest that significant challenges remain before a breakthrough can be achieved.
