Middle East crisis live: Iran reviewing peace proposal as Trump says a deal ‘very possible’

The US and Iran have offered conflicting messages over the likelihood of a deal being reached imminently

The Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said he recently met with Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, according to state media.

The Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency reported Pezeshkian held a meeting with Khamenei that lasted nearly two and a half hours, but it doesn’t mention in any great detail what they had discussed or when it took place. The report makes no mention of the US or its proposal to end the war.
