There has been “outreach” between the United States and Iran in recent days, though not full negotiations, CNN cited an Iranian source as saying.
“Messages have been received through various intermediaries to scope out whether an agreement to end the war can be reached,” the source said, adding that the contact had been initiated by Washington.
The source said Iran is willing to listen to “sustainable” proposals aimed not just at a ceasefire but a broader agreement ending the conflict, provided they preserve Iran’s national interests and include lifting sanctions.
“Iran is ready to provide all the necessary guarantees that it will never develop nuclear weapons but is entitled to peaceful use of nuclear technology,” the source added.
