Iran weighs response to US peace proposal amid Hormuz tensions
Iran is considering how to respond to a reported US peace proposal linked to ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to officials cited in the latest reporting.
One Iranian official said Tehran would convey its reply through Pakistan, which has been described as a key mediator.
Another Iranian official earlier dismissed the reported proposal as a "list of American wishes." The comments suggest that talks remain at an early and uncertain stage, with no public sign of agreement on the terms under discussion.
The proposal is being watched closely because of its possible connection to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route.
Any movement on the issue could affect both the conflict itself and wider regional security.
The strait is one of the world's most important energy transit points, so even limited diplomatic progress would carry broader implications.
The reporting does not set out the full contents of the proposal, and the officials quoted gave different assessments of its seriousness.
That leaves open whether Tehran is preparing a formal reply or simply signalling its objections.
Pakistan's role as a channel for the response points to continued indirect diplomacy rather than direct public negotiations.
