Senior officials from Oman, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey are holding behind-the-scenes talks with senior Iranian officials in an attempt to initiate dialogue with the Trump administration toward a deal, or even a ceasefire, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post.
Officials from the four countries are trying to persuade the Iranians to begin discussions with the Americans.
Iran so far refused to enter talks on an agreement, source says
However, according to the source, Iran has so far refused to enter talks on an agreement, maintaining a hardline position and presenting initial demands as part of any potential deal between Tehran and Washington.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote yesterday on X/Twitter following a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Iran’s conditions for any agreement include “recognition of Iran’s legitimate rights, payment of compensation, and significant international guarantees against future aggression.”
