Mediators see progress in diplomatic efforts to halt Iran war, 2 regional officials say
Mediators from Qatar and Pakistan have made progress in efforts to resume negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to prevent war, according to regional officials.
Neither the U.S. nor Iran conducted or reported any attacks for three consecutive days following weeks of sustained bombardments, easing fears of an all-out war.
Mediators are working to restore an interim ceasefire that was undermined by recent fighting between Washington and Tehran and are collaborating with Iran and Oman on managing transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that mediators are conveying messages but no direct negotiations are currently taking place.
