U.S. and Iran Review Peace Proposal Mediated by Pakistan
Iran confirmed on May 21, 2026, that it is reviewing a formal U.S. proposal received through Pakistani mediators aimed at ending the regional conflict. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations are in the 'final stages,' despite continued military posture from both sides. This diplomatic breakthrough comes just weeks after Operation Epic Fury significantly degraded Iranian defense infrastructure. However, Tehran warned that failure to reach a deal would lead to renewed hostilities extending far beyond West Asia.
