Iran official says diplomacy with US ongoing but no realistic talks plan yet - Reuters


Iran said diplomacy has not stopped but there is still no realistic plan for negotiations with the United States, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday.
“Diplomacy has not stopped, and if realism prevails in Washington, a path forward may still be found,” the official said.
The official said Turkey and Pakistan are trying to help establish common ground between the two sides, but “there is still no arrangement for negotiations” and no plan for talks appears viable at this stage.
He added that Iran had reviewed a US proposal conveyed via Pakistan and found it “one-sided and unfair,” saying it “lacks the minimum requirements for success” and serves only US and Israeli interests.
Separately, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported that Iran had formally sent its response to a 15-point US proposal via intermediaries and was awaiting a reply.
