Senior Iranian official confirms getting US proposal, says Turkey or Pakistan could host talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior Iranian official confirms to Reuters that Pakistan has delivered a proposal from the United States to end hostilities.
The source says Turkey also helped in contacts and that both Turkey and Pakistan were “under consideration as the venue” for negotiations.
The comments, on condition of anonymity, are among rare signs that Tehran might consider diplomatic proposals, despite insisting in public that no talks were under way and it would make no deal with the administration of President Donald Trump.
The Iranian source does not disclose details of the proposal passed on by Pakistan, or whether it was the same as a previously reported 15-point US framework.
