According to a U.S. official and a source familiar with the matter, after three weeks of fighting, the Trump administration has begun preliminary discussions on the next phase and possible forms of peace talks with Iran. President Trump said on Friday he was considering a “gradual end” to the war, but U.S. officials said fighting is expected to continue for another two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Trump's advisors hope to begin preparations for diplomatic mediation. Sources revealed that Trump's special envoys Jared Kushner and Joshua Witkov are involved in discussions about potential diplomatic avenues. Any agreement to end the war must include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, addressing Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile, and reaching a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and support for proxies in the region. Other sources indicated that although Egypt, Qatar, and the UK have all conveyed messages to the U.S. and Iran, there has been no direct contact between the two countries in recent days. Egypt and Qatar have informed the U.S. and Israel that Iran is willing to negotiate, but on very tough terms, including a ceasefire, guarantees against future war, and reparations. (Axios)
