March 25 (Reuters) - ⁠The United States is negotiating with ⁠itself, an Iranian military spokesman said ‌according to state media on Wednesday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said ​Tehran wants to make a ⁠deal to end ⁠the war in the Middle East.

A 15-point ⁠plan ‌aimed at putting an end to the conflict was ⁠drafted by Washington and sent to ​Tehran, a ‌person familiar with the matter told ⁠Reuters ​on Tuesday.

"Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you ⁠negotiating with yourself?" Ebrahim ​Zolfaqari, spokesperon for the unified command of Iran's armed forces, Khatam al-Anbiya Central ⁠Headquarters, taunted the U.S. leadership.

"People like us can never get along with people like you."

Zolfaqari said U.S. investments and ​pre-war energy prices ⁠would not return as long as Washington ​does not accept ‌that regional stability is ​guaranteed by Iranian armed forces.
