Qatari mediators on Sunday gave Iran a new draft deal to end the Iran war, according to Reuters, citing an official briefed on the negotiations. The plan sets a seven-day timeline for addressing concerns from Tehran and Washington and lays out daily confidence-building steps for each side, according to an unnamed official cited by Reuters. A senior Iranian official involved in the talks said the package amounted to “unacceptable ideas and not an offer.” Tehran is considering the proposal and is due to respond by the end of the week, according to Reuters. The Iranian official said Tehran’s position on nuclear issues remained unchanged.
