Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that while messages have been exchanged through third\u2011party countries, there have been no direct talks or negotiations between Tehran and Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMessages being conveyed through our friendly countries and us responding by stating our positions or issuing the necessary warnings is not called negotiation or dialogue,” he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, speaking at an event in Washington, President Trump said Iranian leaders \u201care negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly,\u201d and suggested they are reluctant to admit it publicly \u201cbecause they will be killed by their own people… and afraid they\u2019ll be killed by us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. proposal is reported to include about a 15\u2011point plan that aims to end hostilities, reopen critical shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz, and limit Iran\u2019s ballistic missile capabilities  though the White House has not disclosed precise details. Iran has also reportedly told mediators that any ceasefire must include conditions involving Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflicting comments come as the war continues to have a severe global impact. Fuel shortages have driven up prices around the world, and markets briefly rallied at hopes of a ceasefire before those hopes eased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Nations leaders and other international actors are urging a diplomatic end to the conflict, underscoring the urgent need for de\u2011escalation after nearly four weeks of intense fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
