Al Jazeera, citing officials whose names have not been disclosed, reported that the exchange of messages between the United States and the Islamic Republic continues, and that mediators are actively playing a role in this process.

Based on this report, the mediators have conveyed proposals and the Islamic Republic is still considering them. Al Jazeera wrote that little progress has been made and that fundamental differences remain between the positions of the two sides. The main issue, it said, is stated mistrust between the two parties.

Esmail Baghaei, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, had on Monday, 29 Tir, during his weekly briefing, confirmed receiving “ideas from some mediators.” He did not provide further details on this matter.
