An adviser to Iran’s Foreign Ministry says Tehran is considering the latest plan to end the conflict there from U.S. President Donald Trump, but remains skeptical.

A report at Fox reveals Ali Safari confirmed Tehran officials are looking, but wary of U.S. intentions.

Trump has declared a ceasefire in the conflict and revealed that his “Operation Epic Fury” to permanently eliminate Iran’s chances of using nuclear weapons against the rest of the world is over.

However, there have been multiple circumstances where gunfire has been exchanged as the U.S. blockades Iran’s ports to apply economic pressure on the rogue Islamic regime there.

Fox reported Safari said, “We are reviewing their proposal.”

He said Iran has been given messaging that the U.S. does not seek further military escalation.

But he cited the situations where conflict as erupted in recent days.

“The attacks can no longer be ignored.”

He said the U.S. no longer can use “the Strait of Hormuz to attack Iran and the countries of the region.”

The issue is complicated as Hezbollah, the terror group in Lebanon sponsored by Iran, also has been involved in conflict with Israel, and that “ceasefire” remains at issue.

Fox also reported nuclear weapons experts are calling for any deal with Iran to ban Iran’s attempts to use plutonium for an atomic bomb.

While negotiations so far have focused on Iran’s use of uranium for a weapon, they suggest Tehran could take advantage of a loophole and cause more threats to the world.

Fox reported, “Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), told Fox News Digital: ‘I do believe any proposed deal with Iran needs to address the plutonium pathway to nuclear weapons. Israel struck the Arak heavy water reactor twice over the last year — in June 2025 and in March 2026. Intelligence suggested Iran had repeatedly attempted to reconstruct the facility even after the bombing, so any deal with Iran should cover the plutonium pathway.’”
