The president of Iran says his country is still ready to follow
through with a proposed seven-day plan presented to the U.S.
It's aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
NPR's Hadil al-Shelchi reports President Trump rejected the proposal on Saturday.
In an interview with CBS's Face the Nation
that aired on Sunday, Masoud Pezashkian said that after the seven-day milestone...
And once mutual blockades are lifted, Iran was willing to sit down for broader
talks to formally end military conflict and address its nuclear program.
In the interview, Pezashkian said that Iran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons
and defended its civilian nuclear program.
Pezashkian also addressed the lack of public appearances by the new supreme leader following U.S.-Israeli strikes
that killed his father.
The Iranian president said he had met the new leader twice and that he was healthy.
President Trump said on Saturday that he rejected Iran's seven-day proposal, but that he was still open to negotiating.
