Iran Reviews U.S. Response to 14-Point Proposal Delivered Through Pakistan

Iran says it is carefully examining a response from the United States to a 14-point proposal it recently put forward, according to reports from state media.

The proposal was transmitted through Pakistan, which has been acting as an intermediary between Tehran and Washington amid heightened tensions. Iranian officials indicate that the U.S. reply has now been received and is being studied by government and diplomatic channels.

While details of the exchange remain limited, the proposal is believed to address key issues such as easing hostilities, sanctions relief, and broader regional security concerns. Iranian authorities have not yet disclosed whether the U.S. response meets their expectations or if further communication will be required.

Officials also stress that the process remains indirect, with no formal negotiations currently underway. Instead, both sides appear to be testing positions through diplomatic backchannels as they assess possible paths toward de-escalation.

Pakistan’s involvement highlights its growing role as a facilitator in sensitive regional matters, helping to maintain communication lines at a time when direct engagement between Iran and the United States remains strained.

Iran has not given a timeline for its final position, but the review is seen as a crucial step in determining whether the exchange could evolve into more structured talks or remain a limited diplomatic contact.
