US, Iran separately talk with mediators in latest bid to end war

The United States and Iran have each engaged in separate discussions with mediators in an ongoing attempt to bring an end to the seven-month-long war, according to officials from both nations. Subsequent negotiations are anticipated to center around a revised seven-day proposal that Iran submitted last week at the United Nations General Assembly, stated a Reuters source familiar with the talks.

The conflict erupted in late February following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, resulting in the death of thousands and causing significant disruption to vital oil trade routes over a seven-month period. Prior to this, the U.S. and Iran had agreed to ceasefires during mediated peace discussions in April and June, but these agreements were swiftly breached.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who continued to stay in New York post-UN General Assembly, indicated that Iran anticipated receiving the U.S. response to its latest ceasefire proposals and the conditions for reopening maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by the state news agency IRNA.
