Mediators ​have passed ‌Iran a proposal to ​de-escalate ​the war with ⁠the ​U.S. that ​would offer a 10-day ceasefire ​to ​find ways to ‌revive ⁠an interim deal reached ​last ​month, ⁠a senior Iranian ​official ​told ⁠Reuters on Monday.

According to the news agency, “the mediators conveyed to Iran a proposal to de-escalate the war with the U.S., which provides for a 10-day ceasefire.”

The latest round of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran began on July 8, when the United States struck Iranian territory for the first time since Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding. The U.S. said the attack was in response to a strike on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the end of the truce with Iran.
