Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Iran had reviewed "corrective notes" relayed by Pakistan and sent its own positions back, and Tasnim said a 14-point proposal had been submitted while Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi extended his visit to Tehran to a third day. Tasnim also reported, citing an unnamed source, that the latest U.S. draft offered to waive oil sanctions during talks, which Washington did not confirm.
Why it matters
The unconfirmed waiver report moved oil and stock markets on the day Trump later said a strike had been scheduled.
