Pakistan, acting as a mediator, expects to receive a revised Iranian proposal to end the war within days as U.S.-Iran talks remain stalled, CNN reported April 28.

CNN, citing a Pakistani source, said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was to return to Iran that day after a trip to Russia and consult with the country’s top leadership. The source said internal coordination could take considerable time because the supreme leader’s whereabouts are not publicly disclosed, limiting communication.

President Donald Trump said over the weekend that he would not accept Iran’s proposal. The plan was described as a phased approach: end the war first, then address key disputes tied to Iran’s nuclear program in follow-up talks.

Sources said negotiations remain ongoing and fluid, with a central question being whether Iran will revise its offer to a level the United States can accept.

Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that Iran had just told the United States it was in a “State of Collapse.” He added that Iran, while trying to resolve its leadership situation “(I believe they can),” wants the Strait of Hormuz opened as soon as possible.
