Iran has put forward a new proposal for negotiations with the United States, transmitting the offer through Pakistan on Thursday evening, according to AFP.
The contents of the newly submitted proposal were not disclosed.
Iran and the United States engaged in a single round of negotiations under the shadow of a fragile ceasefire, reached after approximately 40 days of deadly conflict.
War in Iran
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting its leadership and triggering a new conflict in the Middle East.
Iran has been responding with a retaliatory counterattack in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi as a retaliatory move, while launching barrages of missiles and drones toward Israel.
The conflict has spread across the Middle East, leaving thousands dead, triggering unprecedented disruptions to energy supplies especially after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The adversaries remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran tightens its control over maritime traffic while the United States continues to enforce a blockade on Iranian ports.
On Friday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a series of phone calls with his counterparts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Iraq, and Azerbaijan, signaling Tehran’s latest diplomatic initiatives to put an immediate end to the war.
