Iran could respond to the US proposal through Pakistan on Thursday, a Pakistani source told Al Arabiya.
The source added that contacts with the Iranian side remained in place, saying that there were no obstacles to maintaining contact or receiving responses.
Moreover, the source said that President Donald Trump had asked for a “swift Iranian response” to the proposal made by the US.
Beyond that, the Pakistani source also hinted at a possible solution to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, saying that discussions were ongoing and understandings could be reached.
Earlier, Al Arabiya reported citing sources that there were intensive contacts for the reopening of the strait adding that understandings were reached for a possible easing of US blockade in return for the strait’s gradual reopening.
Trump had said on Wednesday that he believed a deal with Iran was “very possible,” but threatened to resume strikes on the country if negotiations failed.
Israel and the US began striking Iran on February 28 which retaliated by attacking Israel and launching strikes on civilian infrastructure in neighboring Gulf countries and blocking the strait. A ceasefire was reached last month but remains fragile.
