Iran’s initial response to the US proposal to end the war is that it is “one-sided and unfair”, a senior Iranian official tells Reuters.

The official says the proposal “was reviewed in detail on Wednesday night by senior Iranian officials and the representative of Iran’s supreme leader”.

“In brief, the proposal suggests that Iran would relinquish its ability to defend itself in exchange for a vague plan to lift sanctions,” he adds, adding that the proposal lacked the minimum requirements for success.

The official notes there is “still no arrangement for negotiations, and no plan for talks appears realistic at this stage”.
