Iran pitches seven day roadmap for ceasefire, renewed nuclear talks
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Iran has presented the United States with a seven-day plan aimed at halting months of fighting, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, as both countries signal renewed interest in diplomacy. “We’re seeking an agreement if the counterpart agrees to it,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Fox News this week.[2]
