Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran is still reviewing a peace offer from the U.S. regarding an end to the war and that it would send a response “at the appropriate time,” a report said.
The comments from Baghaei come after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that the U.S. was expecting a response from Iran today.
“We should know something today. I mean, we’re expecting a response from them,” Rubio said. “We’ll see what the response entails. And the hope is that something that it can put us into a serious process of negotiation.”
However, Baghaei said Tehran would not respond to “deadlines or ultimatums” and that they “mean nothing” to Iran, according to the Middle East Eye.
President Donald Trump also said Friday the U.S. will “find out soon enough” whether Iran is deliberately “slow rolling” its response to the American proposal as tensions remain high following clashes in the Strait of Hormuz.
