Baghaei said the proposal was a shortened version of an earlier seven-day plan and that Qatar and Pakistan remained in regular contact with both sides. An unnamed source told Iran International that Ghalibaf had outlined the “two-day plan” and said Washington needed to respect Iran’s rights within its framework for talks to advance.
President Pezeshkian said the supreme leader had ordered an end to the “no-war, no-peace situation.” He said Iran could hold talks “with dignity” and bring the matter to an end.
