Pressure from Mediators and the Critical Phase of US-Iran Negotiations

The potential agreement being discussed between the US and Iran may include a return to the pre-war status quo. CNN reports, citing its sources, that the current negotiations are focused on a phased approach. The likely first part of the agreement will be dedicated to restoring the former status quo and ensuring the uninterrupted opening of the Strait of Hormuz without tariffs or restrictions. At the same time, it is emphasized that issues related to the nuclear program will be discussed later.

Despite the cancellation of the second phase of negotiations scheduled in Pakistan, there is an active diplomatic process underway between the parties. According to CNN, the positions of the parties are quite close to each other. Sources from the news outlet also report that mediators are applying pressure on the parties to reach a final agreement, and the coming days will be critical.
