Iran's Negotiator Urges U.S. to Accept Peace Plan or Face Failure

Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Reza Aref, warned in Tehran that the United States must accept a peace proposal or the diplomatic effort would fail. Aref said the proposal was a “final offer” and that the U.S. had a limited window to respond. He called on Washington to act decisively to avoid a breakdown in talks.

The statement was made during a press briefing in Tehran, where Aref reiterated Iran’s commitment to a negotiated settlement. He emphasized that the proposal was the culmination of extensive diplomatic work and that the U.S. had the opportunity to accept it.

The remarks come amid ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, with both sides seeking a resolution that would lift sanctions and restore international engagement.
