Iran Weighs Peace Proposal, Accuses US Of ‘Excessive Demands’

Iran accused the United States of "excessive demands" as media reports suggested Washington was considering new strikes while Tehran weighed a peace proposal. Pakistan's army chief arrived in Tehran to bolster mediation efforts. Weeks of negotiations since an April 8 ceasefire have not produced a permanent resolution or restored full access to the Strait of Hormuz, impacting the global economy. Iran's Foreign Minister stated that diplomatic progress is hindered by "repeated betrayals of diplomacy and military aggression" from the US.
