U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. was making progress in its efforts to negotiate an end to war with Iran, including winning an important concession from Tehran, while media outlets reported Washington had sent a 15-point settlement proposal. Citing two officials, the New York Times reported on Tuesday that Washington sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war in the Middle East. Israel's Channel 12, quoting three sources, said the U.S. was seeking a month-long ceasefire to discuss the 15-point plan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pakistan has long-standing ties to neighbouring Iran's Islamic Republic and has been building a relationship with Trump.
