U.S., Iran Discussing Possible 45-Day Ceasefire with Regional Mediators
The United States and Iran are engaged in discussions on a possible 45-day ceasefire, involving regional mediators, according to reports from U.S. media citing informed sources.
Amu TV reported that the mediators include Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson acknowledged that talks are ongoing in Islamabad. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that Iran has not ruled out his attendance at the discussions.
Khaama Press, citing Axios and four informed sources from the U.S., Israel, and the region, described the ceasefire as an initial step in a two-stage plan toward broader diplomatic negotiations to end hostilities. The reports come amid heightened tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, following warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump about targeting Iran's infrastructure if the strait is not reopened.
Neither U.S. nor Iranian officials have officially confirmed the negotiations. The discussions aim to avert a dangerous escalation in the region following the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.
