The United States and Iran appear no closer to a breakthrough, as Washington pushes back on key elements of Tehran’s proposed roadmap to end the conflict, even as a fragile ceasefire remains under pressure across West Asia. Iran’s government spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the United States has responded to Tehran’s 14-point plan aimed at ending the war, adding that the response is currently under review. US President Donald Trump, speaking to Israeli media, said he had examined the proposal and described it as “not acceptable”. He said Iran has “not yet paid a big enough price”, signaling Washington’s tougher stance as talks remain indirect and mediated.
