TEHRAN: Iran said on Monday that diplomatic exchanges with the United States via mediators were ongoing despite US military strikes on the country.
“We have been informed by mediators, we have received messages — without going into details — but the main point is that the diplomatic apparatus has been active in recent days and ideas have been conveyed to us by certain mediators,” said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei at a press conference in Tehran attended by AFP.

On Monday, mediators told reuters they had passed Iran a proposal to ‌de-escalate ‌the ​war ‌with ⁠the ​US that ⁠would offer a 10-day ceasefire ⁠to ‌find ‌ways ​to revive ‌an ‌interim deal reached last ‌month.
