The United States has rejected Iran's 14-point peace proposal to end the war and "has once again reiterated its coercive stance, particularly regarding the nuclear issue," Iranian daily newspaper Tehran Times reported on Friday.
Iran proposed a two-stage negotiation process, the paper said.
The first stage aims to end the war on all fronts, and if Iran's conditions are met, the second stage of negotiations, concerning the nuclear issue, would commence, the paper added.
Earlier this month, Iran submitted a 14-point counterproposal to the United States, calling for a permanent end to hostilities and a full withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region.
The plan was delivered through Pakistani intermediaries in response to a nine-point U.S. proposal.
While Washington's plan calls for a two-month ceasefire, Tehran requested a 30-day timeline to resolve key issues, insisting that talks focus on "ending the war" rather than a temporary truce.
