Iran sends its response to US proposal aimed at ending the war, IRNA says

Iran’s reply leaves nuclear talks and maritime security unresolved as the two sides weigh a 30-day negotiating window, state media reported.

  • On Sunday, May 10, 2026, the Iranian state news agency IRNA confirmed that Tehran has officially delivered its formal response to the U.S. proposal intended to end the two-month-old conflict.
  • The official reply was transmitted through Pakistani mediators in Islamabad, signaling a critical move in the high-stakes diplomatic effort to meet the 48-hour deadline set by the Trump administration.
  • Tehran’s counter-proposal suggests that the current phase of negotiations should focus exclusively on a "cessation of hostilities in the region," potentially deferring more complex disputes such as the Iranian nuclear program to a later date.
  • Diplomatic sources indicate the emerging framework aims for a temporary memorandum of understanding that would immediately halt the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic while a comprehensive long-term agreement is finalized.
  • The delivery of the response follows a period of heightened skepticism from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who recently questioned the reliability of U.S.
