Iran announced Sunday that it has formally responded to the latest U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war that erupted in late February, according to the country’s state-run media.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s response to the latest proposed U.S. draft aimed at ending the war was delivered today through a Pakistani mediator,” Iran’s IRNA news agency reported.

Iran did not release details regarding the contents of its response, but said that under the current framework, negotiations are now centered on “ending the war in the region.”

The latest development comes as diplomatic efforts intensify behind the scenes, with Pakistan and Qatar reportedly playing key roles in mediation efforts between Washington and Tehran.

Neither the White House nor U.S. officials have yet publicly commented on Iran’s response.
