Türkiye, Egypt, and Pakistan are helping to relay messages between the US and Iran.

US President Donald Trump recently stated that he has suspended plans to attack Iranian power plants, citing progress in negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This statement comes after he issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran on Saturday. However, Tehran claims Trump's move is aimed at preventing further spikes in energy prices and buying time for his military plans. A US source stated that Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan have been exchanging information regarding the relevant issues between the US and Iran over the past two days. According to the US source, the foreign ministers of the three countries held separate talks with White House Special Envoy Witkov and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. A source familiar with the situation said, "Mediation is still ongoing and is making progress. The discussions are about ending the war and resolving all outstanding issues. We hope to get an answer soon." (AXIOS)
