Pakistan has presented Iran with a US proposal to de-escalate the Gulf war, Reuters reported, citing a senior Iranian official.
The Iranian source did not disclose details of the proposal, nor whether it was the same as the 15-point one that was previously reported to have been sent from Washington to Tehran.
The official's comments are among the few signs that Tehran is ready to consider diplomatic proposals to end the war, despite publicly denying that it would negotiate with President Donald Trump's administration.
The source also pointed out that Turkey had also "helped to end the war and Turkey or Pakistan are considered as a place for such talks".
We recall that in recent days there have been conflicting signals about negotiations between Iran and the US to end the war.
Initially, Donald Trump announced a 5-day ceasefire after announcing that "very strong negotiations" had been held with Iran, but Tehran denied this.
Earlier today, several publications reported that the US had sent Iran a 15-point plan and a ceasefire proposal. Israel is not participating in the negotiations, but was warned by the Trump administration before the start of discussions on ending hostilities with Iran.
Yesterday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered his country to host peace talks between the two countries, after European and regional sources previously stated that mediators such as Egypt, Pakistan and Gulf states were conveying messages between the US and Iran, and potential direct talks could be held in Islamabad.
