WASHINGTON – Iran has responded to President Donald Trump’s proposal to end hostilities in the war and begin peace talks on an array of contentious issues, according to reporting from Iran's IRNA news agency.
No details on Iran‘s response were immediately available and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. U.S. Energy Secretary Christopher Wright said the Trump administration hadn’t yet heard "a clear resolution" from Iran during a May 10 appearance on "Meet the Press."
IRNA has reported that Iran sent its reply to Trump’s proposal to Pakistan, which is mediating.
Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian appeared to reference the latest proposal in a post on X on May 10.
"We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat," he said in the post, translated from its original Persian. "Rather, the goal is to uphold the rights of the Iranian nation and to defend national interests with resolute strength."
