Iran Seeks Ceasefire through Mediators Amid Escalating Tensions with Israel
Iran has formally requested Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to urge the US President for a ceasefire with Israel while hinting at nuclear negotiation concessions.
Iran has officially asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to exert pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump to persuade Israel to accept a ceasefire, according to Iranian and regional sources.
Reports indicate that Tehran is willing to show greater flexibility in nuclear negotiations if an immediate ceasefire with Israel is established.
Regional countries engaged in intense discussions over the past weekend, coordinating efforts with Washington, Tehran, and other capitals to prevent further escalation of the Israeli-Iranian conflict.
An Iranian source stated that Tehran is prepared for a compromise in nuclear talks, provided that a ceasefire can be reached.
The Israeli military has urged the population to evacuate Tehran, reflecting the heightened tensions in the region.
A Gulf source closely connected to governmental circles indicated that regional leaders are closely monitoring the escalating tensions with significant concern.
Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia have requested Washington to influence Israel towards a ceasefire and to continue negotiations with Iran regarding the nuclear accord.
Additionally, both Iranian and regional sources noted that Tehran has specifically asked Qatar and Oman to act as mediators, clarifying that nuclear dialogue can only resume after a ceasefire is established.
Iran communicated to both countries that it would not enter any talks while under attack and would only consider negotiations in response to Israeli actions against it.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry did not respond to inquiries regarding the situation, nor did relevant authorities in Qatar and Oman, the Saudi Ministry of International Communication, or the U.S. White House and State Department.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has also not commented on these reports.
When questioned about the current diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi stated that it is still too early to discuss such matters.
Early Friday, Israel launched a surprise military operation against Iran, which reportedly targeted elements of the Iranian military leadership and caused significant damage to the country’s nuclear facilities.
Israel claims these operations aim to permanently hinder Tehran's ability to develop nuclear weapons.
Iran continues to assert that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.
Diplomatic initiatives are underway, with Oman, acting as a mediator, working on a ceasefire plan that could facilitate the resumption of U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations.
The sixth round of talks was originally scheduled to take place last Sunday in Muscat but was postponed following the Israeli military operation.
Oman's proposal suggests that Iran suspend its uranium enrichment activities for one to three years, accompanied by stringent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) oversight.
The plan would set a uranium enrichment cap at 3.67 percent, with the possibility of a joint international consortium managing Iran's nuclear program.
One Iranian source indicated that if Israel accepts an immediate ceasefire, Tehran would be willing to suspend enrichment for one year, provide full transparency to the IAEA, and take further confidence-building measures.
In return, Iran anticipates that the United States would recognize its right to a peaceful nuclear program and lift the economic sanctions imposed against it.
The death toll from the Israel-Iran conflict has reportedly surpassed 400.
President Trump has suggested that Vladimir Putin could play a mediating role between the two countries.
Two Iranian sources confirmed that Tehran has also approached Turkey to facilitate communication with Trump.
Furthermore, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed a willingness to engage with both Trump and Netanyahu, although it remains unclear whether Russia will take on a significant role in the discussions.
The Turkish presidential office has yet to respond to inquiries regarding this matter.
Despite past threats from Iran of severe consequences in the event of an Israeli attack, the two sources stated that they are now prepared to halt their military responses if Israel also ceases its attacks.
Tehran is seriously considering the possibility of a ceasefire due to concerns that armed conflict could spread to other parts of the region, leading to long-term instability that could endure for decades, according to one source.
Netanyahu has suggested that the potential removal of the Iranian regime could be one of the outcomes of Israeli military actions against Iran.
