Iran hasn’t requested pause on energy-site strikes, mediators say - #WSJ

Mediators report that Iran has not requested a 10-day pause on strikes against its energy plants and has yet to give a final response to the U.S. 15-point plan to end the war.

Iranian officials expressed interest in negotiations but said the country’s leadership has not made a decision. They demanded the U.S. reduce its excessive demands, ruled out discussing Iran’s missile program as a starting point, and declined to commit to ending uranium enrichment permanently.

Mediators say the chances of a cease-fire remain low, with both sides holding maximalist demands.
