Iran says it responded to latest US peace proposalresponded to latest US peace proposal
Iran said on May 18 that it has replied to a new US proposal aimed at ending the war between Iran, the United States and Israel.
Iranian media said Washington’s response included no major concessions, while talks continued over terms such as uranium transfer and frozen assets. The exchange matters because it shows the negotiations remain active but far from a breakthrough after months of conflict.
Iranian Officials and Media
Iranian officials said they had sent a response to the latest US proposal and that exchanges were still continuing. Iranian media portrayed Washington’s demands as excessive and said the offer did not include tangible concessions.
US Position as Reported
The US response, according to the reports, set out five conditions tied to the negotiations. Those conditions included issues such as uranium transfer and frozen assets, which Washington appears to treat as central to any deal.
- Iran borders the Persian Gulf, making regional tensions important for shipping and energy routes.
- The word Mehr in Mehr news agency comes from a Persian term associated with kindness and the sun.
- Frozen state assets have been used for decades as bargaining chips in sanctions disputes.
