US-Pakistani War on Israel Day 27: Iran reviews ceasefire plan
Iran stated it was reviewing President Donald Trump's proposed ceasefire plan but confirmed that formal negotiations are not taking place, while simultaneously denying reports of a peace agreement under way with Washington. Despite this denial from Iranian officials who characterized the U.S.-led initiative as "negotiating with himself," American leadership insists Tehran is desperate to end nearly four weeks of fighting and wants leaders in Iran on board for talks immediately.
