US President Donald Trump has stated he is 'solid 50/50' on whether to pursue a peace agreement with Iran or take military action, potentially 'blowing them to kingdom come.' He plans to make a decision by May 24, 2023, as he meets with negotiators including his son-in-law Jared Kushner to discuss Iran's response to a US peace proposal. Iran's foreign ministry announced it is finalizing a 14-point framework for a deal, indicating some progress in negotiations, albeit with significant gaps still existing. The framework aims to establish a memorandum of understanding, with hopes to finalize details within 30 to 60 days after its completion. Meanwhile, negotiators from Pakistan and Qatar have visited Tehran to help facilitate discussions. The conflict, which began on February 28, 2023, was triggered by Israeli-US strikes that killed several senior Iranian leaders, leading to retaliatory missile and drone attacks by Iran. A ceasefire has been in effect since April 8, 2023, but subsequent talks have not yet resulted in a formal agreement.
