Iran expected to submit a revised peace proposal soon, sources say 🚨
Mediators in Pakistan expect to receive a revised proposal from Iran in the next few days to end the war, after US President Donald Trump indicated that he would not accept an earlier version, sources close to the mediation process told CNN.
The sources say Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi was due back in Tehran today after a visit to Russia, adding that he is expected to consult with regime leaders. That process is slow, the sources say, because of the difficulty in communicating with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, whose location is being kept secret.
Trump has signaled he would not accept a version of the Iranian proposal submitted over the weekend, which called for ending the war first and settling the thornier issues related to Iran’s nuclear program at a later stage.
The sources said the process is ongoing and fluid, and much will depend on whether Iran comes back with a revised proposal that is more acceptable to the US.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Trump said Iran has informed the US it is “in a ‘State of Collapse,’” insisting Tehran wants the Strait of Hormuz open as “they try to figure out their leadership.”
