The US insists that peace talks are "still ongoing," but Iran publicly rejects Trump's diplomatic initiative.

March 26th, according to Jinshi, despite Tehran's public rejection of US diplomatic initiatives and its new conditions for ending the conflict that has severely impacted the Middle East and global markets, the White House still insists that peace talks with Iran are ongoing. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday, "The United States has been engaged in productive dialogue over the past three days. You are beginning to see the Iranian regime looking for an exit." Trump set a five-day deadline on Monday for Iran to negotiate an agreement to end the war. With the deadline now past its halfway point, questions remain about the status of negotiations and the possibility of reaching an agreement. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the US has drafted a 15-point peace proposal, which was delivered to Iran via Pakistan. Leavitt stated on Wednesday that the US proposal mentioned in reports is "partially true," but cautioned against speculating on anonymous plans. According to CNN, Vice President Vance may travel to Pakistan this weekend for negotiations on the Iran issue. When asked to comment on this report, Leavitt said, "The situation is still dynamic, and speculation about meetings should not be considered final decisions before official announcements." As the war approaches its fourth week, both sides continue their attacks in a new effort to pressure each other into seeking a solution. Iran's state television reported that the country's Bushehr nuclear power plant was attacked. When asked if the new timeline indicated Trump's desire to end the war by that point, Leavitt stated that the administration "has always estimated that this conflict would last approximately four to six weeks."
