Iran says revised terms for peace treaty with US conveyed, rules out discussion on nuclear matters

Tehran/Washington, May 18 (UNI) Iran's government on Monday said that indirect diplomacy with Washington facilitated by Pakistan, was "a continuous process" and that Tehran had managed to convey its latest positions to the US as both sides continue to discuss terms for a comprehensive peace treaty.
President Donald Trump had warned the Islamic Republic on Sunday, stating that "the Clock is Ticking" for Tehran, and it must accept a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war that is now in its 80th day, and seemingly with no resolution.
"There won't be anything left of them" if Iranian leaders fail to "get moving, FAST" on a peace agreement, Trump warned on Truth Social, though Iran has not responded to the threat.
