Pakistani government sources told Anadolu Agency that mediators are 'cautiously optimistic' about resuming negotiations between Washington and Tehran, after President Trump called off planned strikes on Iran. The sources expect 'positive developments' by the end of this week, with the US and Iran exchanging messages via mediators toward a two-week cessation of hostilities and a return to the negotiating table.
Pakistani government sources told Anadolu Agency that mediators are 'cautiously optimistic' about resuming US-Iran talks, after President Trump canceled planned strikes on Iran. The sources expect 'positive developments' by the end of this week, with messages being exchanged through mediators toward a two-week cessation of attacks and a return to negotiations.
The report adds to a series of diplomatic signals in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 25, Trump ordered a two-week halt to US strikes on Iran to allow for Omani-mediated talks on the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump administration has repeatedly sought a return to negotiations, while also conducting military strikes against Iranian targets. The current report, citing Pakistani government sources, suggests that the diplomatic track may be gaining momentum again, though the identities of the mediators and the specific terms of any potential agreement remain unconfirmed.
The development is being watched closely in Israel, where the security establishment has been monitoring the US-Iran dynamic for its implications on regional stability and the Iranian nuclear threat.
