US declines comment on new Iran peace talks proposal
Washington, United States, May 1 (AFP) May 01, 2026
The White House declined to comment Friday on a new proposal from Iran for talks to end the war, saying only that discussions continue.

"We do not detail private diplomatic conversations," deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement sent to AFP.

"President (Donald) Trump has been clear that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon, and negotiations continue to ensure the short- and long-term national security of the United States."

Iran delivered the new proposal Thursday evening for talks with the United States via mediator Pakistan, the state news agency IRNA reported earlier, giving no details.
