Khaberni - An Iranian source told CNN that communications had occurred between the United States and Iran, and that Tehran is ready to listen to "sustainable" proposals to end the war.
The source stated, "There have been contacts between the United States and Iran, initiated by Washington, in recent days, but they have not reached the level of full negotiations." He added, "We have received messages through various intermediaries to explore whether it is possible to reach an agreement to end the war."
He continued, "The proposals being considered aim not only to achieve a ceasefire but also a concrete agreement to end the conflict between the United States and Iran," without delving into further details.
The source declined to comment on the public statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the negotiations, emphasizing that Iran’s stance has always been clear that Tehran is ready to consider any viable proposal.
The source said, "Iran does not request a meeting or direct talks with the United States, but it is ready to listen if there is a perception of a sustainable agreement that ensures the preservation of Iran's national interests."
He added, "Iran is ready to provide all necessary assurances that it will never develop nuclear weapons, but it has the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology." The source affirmed that any proposal must also include the lifting of all sanctions imposed on Iran.
Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson, commenting on the Iranian official's statements, said, "Of course they go to CNN because they know it will broadcast fake news without hesitating for a second."
