Iran FM says not responded to US plan, 'no negotiations'

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with Al Jazeera aired on Wednesday , there were no negotiations with the United States and that Tehran had not responded to a reported 15-point proposal from Washington to end the war.

"There are no grounds for negotiations," he said, adding however that some messages had been exchanged directly with US special envoy Steve Witkoff. Diplomatic efforts involving Türkiye, Egypt and Pakistan have recently been launched to try to end the war. Last week, two senior Pakistani officials said Islamabad had conveyed to Iran a 15-point plan containing US proposals.
