It may be mentioned here that Iran on Sunday has said that the United States has responded to its 14-point proposal via Pakistan and that it is reviewing the response, AFP reported, citing state media.
“At this stage, we do not have nuclear negotiations,” an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said, according to state media.
Earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said that US President Donald Trump must choose between an “impossible” war or a “bad deal” with Iran.
In a post on X, the intelligence department of the IRGC said Tehran had sent the US military a deadline to end its blockade of Iranian ports. It added that Europe, China and Russia were adopting a more critical tone toward Washington.
“There is only one way to read this: Trump must choose between ‘an impossible military operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran’. The room for US decision-making has narrowed,” it said.
