Pakistan has delivered a proposal from the United States to Iran, and either Pakistan or Turkey could be venues for discussions to de-escalate the war in the Gulf, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday. The source also said Turkey was helping to find ways to end the way and "either Turkey or Pakistan are under consideration as the venue for such talks". "We are trying to broker US-Iran peace talks and have also offered Islamabad as a venue for the purpose. Islamabad not only handed over the 15-point proposal of the US to Iran but also Tehran's demands to the Trump administration to ink a peace deal," he said. The first Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard a huge amphibious assault ship could arrive around the end of the month.
