The US, Iran and a group of regional mediators are discussing the terms of a possible 45-day ceasefire that could lead to an end to the war.
Mediators are discussing with the parties the terms of a two-phase agreement: the first phase would provide for a possible 45-day ceasefire during which an end to the war would be negotiated. The ceasefire could be extended if more time is needed for talks, one of the sources said. The second phase would consist of an agreement to end the war.
Negotiations are taking place through Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators, as well as through messages exchanged between Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
A US official said the Trump administration has presented Iran with several proposals in recent days, but so far Iranian officials have not accepted them.
