What happened

Al Jazeera reports: What are US proposals to end war, and will Iran agree to them?.

Why it matters

Iran says it is reviewing a US proposal to end the US-Israel war on it that has caused a global energy crisis.

Common ground

Iran said on Wednesday that it was reviewing a United States peace proposal that sources said would formally end the war, while leaving unresolved the key US demands that Iran suspend its nuclear programme and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
