Iran says examining new US proposal as Pakistani mediator visits

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said on Wednesday that the Islamic republic had received a new U.S. proposal and was currently examining it, as a minister from mediator Pakistan visited Tehran.

"We received the points of view of the American side and we are currently examining them. The presence of Pakistan's interior minister is aimed at facilitating the exchange of messages," Baqaei told state television.

He reiterated Iran's demands in talks to end the war including the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad and an end to the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.
