Mediators have presented Iran with a "last chance" to prevent a renewed conflict with the United States, according to Axios. Qatar and other intermediaries are attempting to secure concessions from Iran on its nuclear program in exchange for partial sanctions relief. These negotiations aim to avert a potential week-long military operation by the U.S. and Israel following the American midterm elections.
The proposed plan involves allowing UN inspectors access to Iranian nuclear facilities that have been damaged by bombings. In return, Iran would receive partial sanctions relief and the unblocking of some frozen assets. Tehran is expected to seek authorization from Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei in the coming days to accept this proposal.
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that indirect talks with Tehran are underway, mediated by third countries, but acknowledged that the prospects for an agreement remain unclear. "We have to finish this, either by a deal or by other means," Trump stated.
Earlier reports indicated that Mark Zell, head of the Republican Party's Israeli branch, believes that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will have approximately two months after the U.S. midterm elections to implement their plans concerning Iran. This suggests a limited window for Washington and Jerusalem to address priority issues related to Iran.
Additionally, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned of severe consequences for the global economy should the conflict escalate. He stated that an Israeli military attack in the Persian Gulf region could trigger widespread turmoil in global markets.
