Iran receives US response to ‘seven-day proposal’ to end war

Iran has received the United States’ response to its proposal aimed at ending the war, according to an official familiar with the talks.

The Iranian initiative has been described as the “seven-day proposal,” though the brief account did not explain what that timeframe refers to.

The contents of the US response were not disclosed. The account therefore offered no indication of whether Washington accepted, rejected or sought changes to Tehran’s terms.

There was also no information on Iran’s reaction or the next step in the talks, leaving the prospects for an agreement unclear.
