Iran has rejected a US peace plan as “excessive” and issues five conditions to end the war, an Iranian official tells state media.
The list of conditions laid out by the official include a conclusion to the war “across all fronts”, and payment of reparations.
Iran had earlier received a 15-point proposal from the US, according to reports from Pakistan which is acting as an intermediary.
The US plan – which has not been made public – reportedly includes Iran dismantling its nuclear facilities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
An Israeli minister told the BBC the proposal is “beautiful on paper” – but Iran is “probably” unlikely to agree to it. See the clip in our video carousel.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has confirmed the deployment of some US ground troops to the Middle East – but doesn’t specify where.–BBC
