In the post, Dar tagged the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragshi.

But Aragshi earlier said his country rejects the 15-point proposal.

Iran has countered with its own five conditions to end the war, including payment for damages.

This comes amid a flurry of activity in the Pakistani capital Islamabad to mediate an end to the US and Israeli war on Iran.

And according to an official in Islamabad not authorised to speak to NPR publicly, Pakistan's powerful interior minister recently held a secret meeting with Iran's ambassador.

It took us months to find the woman we are calling H. She asks that we don't use her name because she fears for her safety.

She works in an industry that is so underground, so secretive, that to find her, my co-reporter Shweta Desai has to go through a chain of people, each suspicious of who we are and what we're doing.

And then H, well, Shweta is on the phone with her for weeks before she agrees to meet us in person at a cafe in a commuter town near Mumbai.

That's India's sprawling port city.

She walks in late, wearing a long black robe and a black headscarf, which throws us off.

H is Muslim, but we didn't expect her to be religious or conservative.

She laughs when we comment on it.

She lightly touches her hijab and says she's only wearing it because we're in a Muslim-majority area and she doesn't feel comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt around here.

H is one of the countless Indian women who sells her eggs to survive.

Couples who are in the market for a human egg to have a baby like how she looks.

Pale skin, thick hair, an hourglass figure, a pretty smile.

She says, I have good eggs.

H is 35.

She tells us that she started selling her eggs about five years ago after she left her husband.
