The US and Iran are discussing a possible 45-day ceasefire.
According to Axios, citing sources.
It has been reported that the US, Iran, and a group of regional mediators are discussing the terms of a possible 45-day ceasefire that could end the conflict. Although the publication's sources note that the likelihood of reaching an agreement within the next 48 hours is low, they emphasize that this step could be the only way to prevent escalation. Otherwise, increased tension will lead to massive strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure, as well as retaliatory attacks on the energy and water supply systems of the Persian Gulf countries.
The sources state that mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey hope to take measures that will increase trust between the parties. They expect Tehran to take certain steps regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program.
"They are also working on what measures the US President Donald Trump administration could take to assure Iran that the ceasefire will not be temporary and that the conflict will not restart," the article said.
It should be noted that earlier the US president said in an interview that the probability of reaching an agreement with Iran by April 7 was high. He threatened that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz by April 6, strikes would be carried out on energy and civilian infrastructure. The US leader extended the deadline for reaching a possible agreement with Iran by 24 hours — until 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 7 (4:00 a.m. Baku time on April 8)./oxu.az
