The United States, Iran, and regional mediators are intensifying diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict, with several proposals under discussion but no agreement yet confirmed by both sides.
According to a Reuters-cited source, a new framework aimed at ending hostilities has been presented to both Washington and Tehran. The proposal could pave the way for an immediate ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as early as Monday, although Iran has not formally agreed.
Separate reports indicate that the United States, Iran, and regional intermediaries are considering a 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase plan to negotiate a lasting end to the conflict. However, these claims have not been independently verified.
Earlier in the week, Tehran rejected a U.S. proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire, underscoring its reluctance to accept short-term pauses in fighting.
Despite ongoing challenges, discussions on a broader ceasefire framework continue, with the United Arab Emirates emphasizing that any agreement must ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and address wider regional security concerns.
No formal ceasefire has been implemented so far, and negotiations remain fluid as diplomatic efforts continue.
