Conflicting messages emerged from Iran about its response to a U.S. peace offer reportedly delivered to it by Pakistan on Wednesday (25 March). Meanwhile, Tehran's government unveiled its own counterproposal to end the conflict.
Unnamed Iranian sources gave conflicting statements to the media about a 15-point U.S. peace plan that was reportedly delivered to Iran by Pakistan. While an unnamed Iranian official told Iranian state media that Iran had rejected the U.S. proposition, another unidentified official later told Reuters that the proposal was still under review.
Both unnamed sources indicated that Tehran’s opinion of the U.S. proposal wasn’t "positive." Pakistani sources said that Iran had yet to formally reply to Washington’s proposal.
Meanwhile, Iran presented its own proposition for ending the conflict, which included a complete halt to what it called “aggression and assassinations” and payment of compensation.
Five Gulf states and Jordan demanded that the Iraqi government take action to stop Iran-aligned militias within the country from carrying out attacks on neighbouring states, in a joint statement on Wednesday.
The six countries said the attacks were a "blatant violation" of international law, adding that they reserved the right to respond in "self-defence" to the assaults.
The statement, signed by Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also condemned the activities of "Iran-alligned sleeper cells" within the region, mentioning Hezbollah.
In another sign of Iraq's entanglement in the conflict, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia-al Sudani summoned the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Baghdad over attacks on Iraqi military units.
