US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States has had "very good" talks with Iran over the past 24 hours on ending the war that has lasted more than two months.
A Pakistani source and another source briefed on the mediation told Reuters that the two sides were close to reaching a one-page memorandum that would formally end the conflict.
The memorandum would pave the way for talks on reopening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting US sanctions on Iran and placing limits on Iran's nuclear program, the sources said.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday that Iran was ready to pursue diplomatic paths to end the war with the US and Israel while safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people.
Iran yet to respond to latest US 'one-page' proposal
It remained unclear how the memorandum differed from a 14-point plan proposed by Iran last week, and Iran has yet to respond to the latest US proposal.
An Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson cited by the ISNA news agency said Tehran would convey its response. Trump said he believed Iran wanted an agreement.
Iran wants to "make a deal badly," Trump said at a White House event, repeating his earlier claim.
"They want to make a deal," he told reporters. "We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal."
Asked whether there was a deadline for Iran to respond to the latest US proposal, Trump said there was no deadline.
Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for parliament's foreign policy and national security committee, described the text as "more of an American wish-list than a reality."
