Tehran says the US has continued exchanging views on a proposed framework through Pakistani mediation, despite publicly rejecting Iran’s 14-point proposal, IRNA reports.

Speaking at his weekly press conference, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Washington had conveyed “a set of revised points and considerations” via Pakistan last week after Iran submitted its proposal.

“After we presented the 14-point plan, the American side raised its considerations. In return, we also presented our considerations,” Baqaei said in response to a question.

“Last week, despite the American side publicly announcing that this plan was rejected, we received through the Pakistani mediator a set of revised points and considerations reflecting their views,” he added.

The spokesperson said Iran had reviewed the latest proposals in recent days and had already delivered its response to Washington through the same channel.
