On Monday, Iran said it would soon present a counter-proposal for a nuclear deal with the United States, after calling Washington's proposal one that contained "ambiguities."
"We will soon offer the other party our own plan through the Omani mediator," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai told reporters in Tehran on Monday. He called it a "reasonable, logical and balanced proposal."
The US and Iran have found themselves in a diplomatic standoff over the latter's uranium enrichment, with Tehran defending the right as "non-negotiable" and Washington calling it a "red line."
On May 31, after the fifth round of negotiations, Iran said it had received "elements" of the US proposal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also said later that the text contained "ambiguities."
