Under pressure from American threats: signs of Iranian concessions to end the war
Mutual signals suggest that Iran may have made concessions to bring the state of war with the United States to an end, after Washington raised the level of its threats.
After U.S. President Donald Trump increased pressure on Tehran, Iranian officials stated their desire to end the war and to send a new response to an American proposal for negotiations.
The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, said that “Tehran is focusing at this stage on ending the war.”
He added that Iran “has responded to the latest American proposal aimed at ending the war.”
He also noted that communication with the United States is ongoing, despite Iranian media reports describing Washington’s demands as excessive.
Meanwhile, a Pakistani source told Reuters on Monday that Islamabad had transmitted a revised Iranian proposal to the United States overnight on Sunday aimed at ending the war, at a time when talks between the two sides still appeared to be stalled.
When asked whether the differences between the two sides would take time to resolve, the source replied, “We do not have much time,” indicating that the two countries “continue to change their conditions.”
At the same time, the U.S. president said that Iran “is eager to sign” a ceasefire agreement with the United States.
Yesterday, in a post on Truth Social, he wrote: “Time is running out for Iran and they must act quickly, otherwise nothing will be left for them. Time is a decisive factor!”
The U.S. president’s statement came after phone discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which the situation regarding Iran was discussed, according to American sources cited by Axios.
In recent days, Donald Trump has more seriously considered resuming major military operations in Iran as a means of forcing it to reach a compromise to end the war, according to a source cited by CNN.
According to the same source, Trump is expected to meet again with his national security team early this week to review the situation of the war.
