Foreign ministers from multiple countries across the political spectrum are urging the United States and Iran to stop their pre-negotiation maneuvering and return to direct talks to finalize a deal already reportedly agreed in principle, according to regional diplomatic sources cited by the Arabic Desk.
Regional diplomatic pressure is mounting on both Washington and Tehran to return to direct negotiations. According to the Arabic Desk, foreign ministers from a broad coalition of countries—representing both sides of the regional divide—are pleading with the two capitals to cease what they describe as 'pre-games' and finalize an agreement that sources say has already been outlined.
The appeal comes amid a volatile security environment: US strikes on Iranian-linked assets, Iranian missile barrages against US allies, and continued Israeli operations in Lebanon have all occurred in recent days. The background context includes a reported collapse of earlier US-Iran talks on June 5, attributed by Tehran to American and Israeli military actions, and a subsequent White House statement on June 10 asserting that military and diplomatic tracks can proceed in parallel.
It remains unclear whether either side is prepared to honor the foreign ministers' request. The Biden administration has signaled openness to parallel tracks, while Iranian leadership has publicly framed the latest rounds as a strategic victory and threatened further retaliation.
