Iran sent a new proposal for talks with the US via mediator Pakistan, state media said, without disclosing details. The two sides have held only one round of negotiations amid a fragile ceasefire after nearly 40 days of war starting February 28. Talks stalled as the US imposed a naval blockade and Iran restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also consulted regional counterparts on initiatives to end the conflict.
