Iran has received a response from the United States regarding a 14-point peace proposal aimed at ending hostilities [1].
This development represents a critical attempt to stabilize diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington. The proposal seeks a comprehensive end to conflicts involving Iran, the U.S., and Israel, potentially altering the security landscape of the Middle East.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said the response was received during a press briefing in Tehran on May 2, 2026 [1]. The 14-point plan [1] was previously transmitted to the U.S. through Pakistan.
"We have received the US response to our 14-point plan," Khatibzadeh said [1].
While Tehran has confirmed the arrival of the communication, the contents of the U.S. reply remain undisclosed. The Iranian government said it is currently reviewing the document to determine the next steps in the diplomatic process [1].
There are indications that the U.S. may not be aligned with the terms of the proposal. President Donald Trump said he could not imagine the proposal would be acceptable [3]. This suggests a potential gap between the expectations of the Iranian ministry and the current U.S. administration.
Tehran has framed the 14-point plan [1] as a pathway toward a complete cessation of hostilities. The use of a third-party intermediary in Pakistan highlights the lack of direct diplomatic channels between the two countries.
“"We have received the US response to our 14-point plan."”
The exchange of a formal response indicates that diplomatic channels remain open, even if they are indirect. However, the contrast between Tehran's announcement and President Trump's skepticism suggests that the 'response' may be a rejection or a set of counter-demands rather than an agreement. The outcome of this review will determine whether the region moves toward a negotiated truce or continues toward escalation.
