Iran is expected to deliver its response on Thursday to a United States proposal intended to end the ongoing war, according to a CNN report citing a regional source. The response will be handed to Pakistani mediators. Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that discussions with Iran were progressing well.

The report said Iran is reviewing the US proposal as both sides move toward a possible agreement to end the conflict. US media outlet Axios reported that the White House believes it is close to finalizing a 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran. However, a senior Iranian parliament member dismissed the proposal as a “wish list,” while a foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed that Tehran would convey its views through Pakistan.

Pakistan’s foreign minister stated that his country is working to turn the ceasefire into lasting peace, underscoring Islamabad’s mediating role in the process.
