Qatari mediators hand Iran new proposal to end the war
Iran rejects "unacceptable" ideas after Qatari mediators presented Tehran with a new draft deal to end the war, the Reuters news agency reports.
Iranian officials have denied that Qatar presented Tehran with a new peace proposal, stating instead that the proposals were deemed unacceptable. Qatar reportedly handed Iran a draft deal to end the war on Sunday, according to Reuters. However, Iran insisted it would not budge on the nuclear issue. The negotiations are ongoing, with Iran expected to respond by the end of the week.
Concerns in Tehran included the possibility of Israel resuming its bombardment of Iran during the week. The cost of the Iran war has reached an estimated $47 billion, with $29 billion allocated for replacing expended munitions. The Iran war is projected to continue costing $2 billion to $3 billion per month indefinitely.
