“No new proposal has been made outside of negotiations with the P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany -- during the recent UN General Assembly session,” the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said on Wednesday.
Jalili added that claims made by a number of American media with regards to this issue are “baseless.”
The New York Times reported on October 4 that Iran has devised a “nine-step plan” to resolve the nuclear crisis which would require the West to dismantle sanctions imposed against the country’s oil sector and in return Tehran would suspend the production of the 20-percent enriched uranium.
At the beginning of 2012, the US and the EU approved new sanctions against Iran's oil and financial sectors.
The embargoes aim to prevent other countries from purchasing the Iranian oil or transacting with the Central Bank of Iran.
Washington and the EU have declared that the bans are meant to force Iran to abandon its nuclear energy program, which they claim to include a military component.
Iran has vehemently refuted the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to use the nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
