International mediators have conveyed to Tehran a proposal to implement a 10-day ceasefire in the military conflict with the United States. According to Reuters, citing a senior Iranian official, this pause is intended to create conditions for the resumption of the interim agreement reached between the parties last month.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai confirmed receipt of the proposals from the mediators, noting that Tehran is combining diplomatic efforts with military force to prevent escalation. At this time, the details of Iran’s response and its agreement to the proposed ceasefire remain unknown.
