The US sent a 15-point plan to Iran for a possible ceasefire, an official said, even as it began to move paratroopers to the Mideast to back up a contingent of Marines heading there Wednesday. Iran’s military scoffed at the diplomatic effort and launched more attacks on Israel and the Gulf region, including an assault that sparked a fire at Kuwait International Airport.
The Iranian Ambassador in Islamabad Reza Amiri Moghadam said there had been no talks between Washington or Tehran, after US President Donald Trump signalled that there had been peace overtures between the two sides.
With growing pressure on the US to end the war as it nears the end of its first month, Washington submitted the plan to Iran by intermediaries from Pakistan, who have offered to host renewed negotiations according to a person briefed on the contours of the proposal.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Navy has issued a direct warning to the US, stating that its aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, is being closely monitored and faces potential strikes if it approaches Iranian territory. Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the US about its military presence in the region.
