US 'very close' to meeting goals in Iran, White House says, as Tehran rejects peace plan |

The US is "very close" to meeting its "core objectives" in Iran, the White House said, after Tehran rejected a US peace plan as "excessive".

Iran issued five conditions to end the war, an Iranian official told state media, including a conclusion to the conflict "across all fronts" and payment of reparations.

Iran had earlier received a 15-point proposal from the US, according to reports from Pakistan which is acting as an intermediary.

The US plan - which has not been made public - reportedly includes Iran dismantling its nuclear facilities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions - the White House says it never confirmed the plan and talks are ongoing.
