Amid conflicting reports about possible US-Iran negotiations, a senior Iranian foreign ministry official told the BBC’s US partner CBS News: “We received points from the US through mediators and they are being reviewed.”
CBS clarifies that this step was taken “as a potential precursor to talks”, and that talks are not confirmed or under way.
The comments come after President Trump said the US and Iran held talks on ending the war, but Iran’s parliament speaker denied it.
Trump has reiterated that the US could reach a deal to halt the conflict after walking back on threats to bomb Iranian energy sites and postponing the strikes.
