Iran on Saturday, May 23, weighed a new peace proposal amid growing fears of possible fresh United States military action, AFP reported, citing Iranian media.
Tehran also accused Washington of making “excessive demands” during ongoing negotiations.
Iranian media said leaders of the Islamic Republic were reviewing the latest diplomatic proposal as efforts continued to prevent further escalation in the region.
The tensions intensified after US media reports suggested Washington was considering new strikes against Iran if talks failed to make progress.
