Channel 14 journalist Dror Balazada reports new details that Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan are pressing President Donald Trump to grant Iran a 48-hour window to respond to a diplomatic proposal. The report adds a new layer of regional pressure to the ongoing US-Iran negotiations, which have seen repeated interventions by regional powers to avert military escalation.
Dror Balazada, a journalist for Channel 14, reported on Sunday evening that Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan are putting pressure on President Donald Trump to allow Iran 48 hours to respond to a diplomatic proposal. The specific content of the proposal remains unclear. The report adds Turkey to the list of regional mediators previously reported to be involved in urging de-escalation. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday (11:13 Jerusalem), Qatar and Pakistan had reportedly pressed Trump to halt a planned military strike on Iran. The involvement of Turkey, a NATO member with complex relations with both Washington and Tehran, introduces a new dimension to the diplomatic efforts. The report is based on a single source — Channel 14 — and has not yet been independently corroborated.
