The United States, Iran, and a coalition of regional mediators are currently engaged in discussions regarding a potential 45-day ceasefire aimed at halting the ongoing conflict. According to a report by Axios, negotiations are being facilitated by mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, along with communication between Steve Witkoff, a US envoy, and Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister. However, sources indicate that the likelihood of reaching a partial agreement within the next 48 hours is considered slim. Iranian officials have expressed concerns about being left in a precarious position similar to past situations in Gaza or Lebanon, where ceasefires existed on paper but were undermined by continued attacks from the US and Israel. The discussions are ongoing, and the situation remains dynamic.
