Iran has announced that it is reviewing and has accepted proposals put forward by mediators aimed at de-escalating the ongoing tensions in its relationship with the United States.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this statement was made by Esmail Baghaei, the official spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tehran confirmed that the negotiation process, conducted through various diplomatic channels, remains active. Baghaei emphasized that these diplomatic efforts are being pursued in parallel with the defensive and retaliatory measures currently being implemented by the Iranian Armed Forces.
The Iranian side stated that it is taking a dual-track approach, utilizing both diplomatic and military avenues to manage the heightened tensions with the US. This development comes amid a complex geopolitical landscape in the Middle East, where regional powers and international actors are closely monitoring the potential for further escalation between Washington and Tehran.
The relationship between the United States and Iran has been characterized by decades of diplomatic estrangement and periodic military friction. Since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January 2025, international observers have been keenly watching for shifts in policy regarding the Middle East, as both nations navigate a delicate balance between deterrence and the pursuit of diplomatic de-escalation.
