The White House is expecting to receive Iran's response via intermediaries later on Friday over the U.S. 15-point plan for a potential ceasefire to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, according to a report from CBS News.

U.S. President Donald Trump and top White House officials have been told that Iran's counter-proposal would likely arrive Friday via interlocutors, two sources familiar with the matter were quoted as saying.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said at the White House on Thursday that the Trump administration had presented Iran the plan through Pakistan.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the plan calls on Iran to dismantle its three main nuclear sites and end any enrichment on Iranian soil, suspend its ballistic-missile work, curb support for proxies, and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House was working to arrange a meeting in Pakistan this weekend to discuss an off-ramp to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, said a CNN report on Wednesday, citing two senior U.S. officials.

The United States and Israel began large-scale airstrikes on Iran on Feb. 28, disrupting global shipping, sending oil prices soaring and shaking the global economy.
