> US and Iranian officials separately contacted mediators on Monday in a renewed effort to end seven months of war. Talks may center on Iran’s seven-day proposal to halt hostilities, unfreeze assets, lift oil sanctions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Fighting in Yemen’s Lahj province killed at least 44 people as humanitarian needs worsened.
