President Donald Trump announced he is reviewing a new proposal from Iran aimed at ending the war, expressing doubt about its effectiveness.
"I'll let you know about it later," Trump stated as he boarded Air Force One, mentioning that he was expecting details soon.
He later shared on social media that he finds it hard to believe the proposal would be acceptable, citing Iran's actions over the past 47 years.
Two Iranian news agencies, Tasnim and Fars, reported that Iran sent a 14-point proposal via Pakistan in response to a previous nine-point offer from the U.S.
Despite rejecting an earlier proposal this week, U.S.-Iran discussions continue, and a three-week ceasefire appears to be holding.
In a separate development, Trump proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for global oil trade.
Tensions remain high in the region following recent military actions and Iran's threats against shipping.
The U.S. has warned shipping companies about potential sanctions for payments to Iran.

In related news, Iran executed two men accused of espionage for Israel, marking a continued crackdown on perceived threats.
The Iranian judiciary claims these actions are part of a larger effort to strengthen national security amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
