Iran has formally delivered its response to a United States proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, through mediator Pakistan.
Iran’s state news agency IRNA said the proposed framework begins with negotiations focused on halting military hostilities as a first step toward broader diplomatic discussions.
According to the news agency, Pakistan has officially received Tehran’s response and is expected to relay it to Washington in the coming phase of the mediation effort.
Iran, Pakistan and the United States are now central to the latest diplomatic push aimed at preventing further escalation in the region.
Reporting from Islamabad, Al Jazeera said Pakistani officials confirmed they have received the Iranian message, saying now it is how and when the response will be communicated to Washington and how the US administration will react.
The development comes amid heightened regional tensions, ongoing military exchanges and international concern over the security of energy routes and maritime traffic in the Gulf region.
Observers say the use of Pakistan as an intermediary highlights Islamabad’s growing diplomatic role in regional crisis management and reflects attempts by multiple parties to keep communication channels open despite the conflict.
While details of Tehran’s response were not disclosed, the reported focus on ending hostilities suggests a possible opening for negotiations if both sides agree on initial de-escalation measures.
