A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Pakistan has conveyed a United States proposal for a ceasefire to Iran, and that discussions to end the ongoing war could take place in either Pakistan or Turkey. The official’s comments, reported on Wednesday, suggest that Tehran may be considering diplomatic options despite its previous refusal to engage with the Trump administration.

According to the source, Turkey has also assisted in the effort to halt the conflict and is being considered as a possible venue for the talks. Israeli cabinet members have been briefed on the proposals, which reportedly include the removal of Iran’s highly enriched uranium, halting enrichment activities, limiting its ballistic missile program, and ending funding to regional allies. Turkish ruling party official Harun Argaman confirmed that Ankara is facilitating message exchanges between Iran and the United States.

Al Jazeera’s Osama bin Javed reported that Pakistan presented the documents from the Trump administration to Iran and that Tehran’s response is now awaited.
