According to a high-ranking diplomatic source, Iran has rejected a 15-point ceasefire proposal from the United States aimed at ending the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, deeming it "maximalist and unreasonable." Despite Iranian denials, US President Trump claims negotiations are underway. No direct talks have occurred between Iran and the US since the war began, but messages have been exchanged through mediators. Pakistan, which shared the US demands with Iran, and Turkiye are attempting to mediate, with potential in-person talks possibly taking place in Pakistan. Egypt has also offered to host meetings related to Iran to de-escalate the conflict and supports Trump's initiative to negotiate with Iran.
