An American proposal to end the war with Iran is still being considered, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson tells Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA).

In an interview with ISNA, Esmail Baghaei says that Iran is sharing its views on the US proposal with Pakistani mediators.

In a post on X citing the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Baghaei says the concept of negotiations requires "at the very least, a genuine attempt to engage in discussions with a view to resolving the dispute".

"It needs 'good faith', then, meaning that 'negotiations' is not 'disputation'; nor is it 'dictation', 'deception', 'extortion' or 'coercion'", he adds.

There is no direct mention of the US, or an American proposal to end the war, in the post.

However, as we've been reporting, Baghaei has told Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) that Iran has shared its views on the US proposal with Pakistani mediators.

On Tuesday, the US strategy seemed to be newly dependent on unclenching Tehran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz, with the diplomatic path apparently on the backburner.

Now, President Trump has ditched that approach and is saying that peace is all but at hand.

It's being reported that there's a one page document that the two sides are close to agreeing. The Pakistani mediators are talking it up, too.

The little that's come out of Iran so far is as ever notably less enthused about developments.

One official has said that what Washington has presented is a wish-list rather than a reality.
