Amid a pause in back-and-forth strikes, the US and Iran submitted responses to a proposal from Pakistan and Qatar to return to negotiations, the Saudi Al Arabiya outlet reports.
Citing a Pakistani government source, the Turkish Anadolu newspaper says that both Washington and Tehran “communicated their consent for dialogue and diplomacy to end the latest hostilities, and return to negotiations.”
According to the Turkish outlet, the proposal calls on the sides to return to their positions before the recent outbreak of hostilities. That would mean a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to US sanctions on Iranian oil.
