Iran Dismisses Negotiating With Washington

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has received a 15-point plan from the United States for a possible ceasefire even as Washington is beginning to move paratroopers to the Mideast. They will back up a contingent of Marines heading there on Wednesday. Iran’s military scoffed at the diplomatic effort and launched more attacks on Israel and the Persian Gulf region, including an assault that sparked a fire at Kuwait International Airport. Iran, which says there are no talks with the U.S., says that Washington is in no position to negotiate. Exact details have not been released, but the U.S. ceasefire plan touches on sanctions relief, civilian nuclear cooperation and access for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
