US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has expressed optimism that Iran may accept Washington's peace proposals, describing the current moment as a potential turning point in the Middle East conflict.
"We have a strong feeling: if we can convince Iran that we are at a turning point, with no alternatives for the Iranians other than more death and destruction, then there is a possibility for an agreement. If it is concluded, it will be wonderful for Iran, the entire region, and the entire world",
Witkoff said.
The USA recently presented Tehran with a 15-point peace plan. In their response, Iranian authorities called for an immediate ceasefire, guarantees against future aggression, and consideration for the interests of regional allies.
