Pakistan has submitted US proposal to Iran, meeting place not yet decided
March 25 — Reuters: A senior Iranian official stated Pakistan has forwarded a U.S.-proposed plan to Iran, but no venue has been set for Iran-U.S. talks aimed at ending the war.
### Notes on alignment with U.S. English/News Style:
1. **Date + Source Lead**: Uses a dash (common in U.S. wire service briefs) to link date and source (Reuters) for clarity.
2. **Conciseness**: Replaces "has not yet been determined" with "has been set" (shorter, more active for news); condenses "talks between Iran and the United States to end the war" to "Iran-U.S. talks aimed at ending the war" (compact, fits brief format).
3. **Formal Tone**: "Stated" (vs. "said") aligns with U.S. news coverage of diplomatic sources; "forwarded" (vs. "submitted") feels more natural for a third-party passing a proposal.
4. **Standard Abbreviation**: "Iran-U.S." (common in U.S. media for brevity in briefs).
