Iran sends its response to US proposal aimed at ending the war, IRNA says

Iran has sent its response to ​a U.S. proposal aimed ‌at ending the more than two-month warto mediator, Pakistan, Iran's IRNA ​news agency said ​on Sunday.

According to Iran's proposal, ⁠the current phase of ​negotiations will focus exclusively on ​the cessation of hostilities in the region, a source familiar with ​the matter told IRNA.

Sources ​in both camps have told Reuters ‌the ⁠latest peace efforts are aimed at a temporary memorandum of understanding to halt the ​war and ​allow ⁠traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while ​they discuss a ​fuller ⁠deal, which would have to address intractable disputes such ⁠as ​Iran's nuclear programme.
