Al Jazeera reported that Iran is reviewing a request from the United States to move forward with negotiations, but has not yet responded.
Officials say a key obstacle remains the nuclear issue, alongside a deep trust deficit following previous US strikes during talks.
According to the report, Iran is proposing a phased approach that prioritises ending the war and securing guarantees against further attacks before addressing broader issues such as the nuclear file.
In return, Tehran has indicated it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a wider agreement.
