Mediators from Qatar have presented Iran with a new draft agreement aimed at ending the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. A source familiar with the negotiations told Reuters that Tehran is expected to respond to the proposal by the end of the current week. The proposed framework outlines a seven-day schedule of daily confidence-building measures for both sides to implement, with several countries acting as guarantors for the agreement's execution. This latest diplomatic push, which could see progress by early next week, is being led by Qatar in cooperation with Pakistan.
The conflict, initiated by the US and Israel in February, has already caused significant disruptions to global shipping routes and oil supplies, and has expanded into other Middle Eastern regions. Previous mediation efforts in June resulted in a temporary peace agreement, but this accord quickly collapsed. In recent weeks, tensions have escalated with repeated attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels against Saudi Arabia.
Amidst these diplomatic maneuvers, Iranian security officials have reportedly prepared detailed plans to target underwater communication cables in the Gulf. This contingency measure is intended to be enacted if US and Israeli attacks resume, particularly following repeated threats of military action against Iran made by US President Donald Trump. Concerns about a potential escalation have intensified ahead of a meeting in Tehran, partly due to the political standing of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently campaigning for re-election. The source indicated that there was a genuine fear that Israel might renew its attacks on Iran during the week leading up to the midterm elections.
