Middle East crisis live: Iran reviewing peace proposal as Trump says a deal very possible'
"We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal. We'll see whether or not they are agreeing. And if they don't agree, they'll end up agreeing shortly thereafter. That's the way it is."
"Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy commission, said the proposal to end the war was merely an American wish list and not a reality."
"If it doesn't end, we have to go back to bombing the hell out of them."
The US and Iran have issued contradictory statements regarding ongoing negotiations to resolve the Middle East conflict. Trump expressed optimism about peace talks, stating a deal is very possible and threatening renewed military action if negotiations fail. Iranian officials, however, dismissed the US proposal as merely an American wish list lacking substantive reality. Iran is reviewing the proposal through Pakistani mediators but has not committed to acceptance. Trump suspended Project Freedom, a military operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing a desire to pursue peace. Reports indicate Gulf allies, including Saudi Arabia, were surprised by the sudden announcement and refused to support the military operation.
