The war, which began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, ​has spread across the Middle East.

Iran ​had been reviewing a 15 point proposal, sent via ‌Pakistan, ⁠that included demands ranging from dismantling Iran’s nuclear program to curbing its missile development and effectively handing over ​control of ​the Strait ⁠of Hormuz, according to sources and reports.

An Iranian official ​told Reuters on Thursday that ​senior ⁠officials had reviewed the proposal and felt it served only U.S. and Israeli ⁠interests. ​But the official said ​diplomacy had not ended.
