Iran's Supreme Security Council said on Wednesday negotiations with the United States would begin on Friday April 10 in Islamabad after it submitted a 10-point proposal to Washington via Pakistan, Iranian state media reported, adding that talks do not signal the end of the war.

Iran said the talks, which may last up to 15 days and could be extended by agreement, aim to finalise details of the proposal, which includes provisions on transit through the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief and withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from regional bases.
