A senior Iranian military officer said renewed fighting between the US and Iran is 'likely'. Iran delivered a new negotiating proposal to mediator Pakistan on Thursday evening. President Donald Trump said he was 'not satisfied' with the proposal, blaming stalled talks on 'tremendous discord' within Iran's leadership. Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior figure in Iran's military central command, cited a lack of US commitment to agreements. The US has imposed new sanctions on Iranian currency firms and warned against paying a 'toll' for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The war, launched by the US and Israel in late February, has been on hold since April 8, with one failed round of peace talks in Pakistan.
