“Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei says Iran’s latest response to the US had asked for an end to the war, removal of the naval blockade, and release of assets.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While web search results mention Esmaeil Baqaei and a proposal to end a war, none of the provided evidence explicitly lists the specific demands (end to war, removal of naval blockade, and release of assets). The NPR result mentions Baqaei told ISNA about a response, but notes that NPR has not confirmed the details of the proposal.

“The US had dismissed the Iranian response, Baqaei said”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm the US dismissed/rejected the Iranian response. One source explicitly mentions Trump stating on Truth Social that he examined and rejected Iran's reply, and another mentions Baqaei stating that Washington's willingness for dialogue lacks credibility.
