Iran and U.S. have moved out of critical phase: ceasefire could be reached within hour, - media
Iran and the United States have managed to make progress and overcome the most tense phase of the negotiations.
This was stated by Reza Amiri, Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, according to Censor.NET.
Emerging from the critical phase
According to him, the parties have already emerged from the critical and sensitive phase of the negotiation process. In his view, the next stage will require clearer and more substantive rhetoric rather than diplomatic restraint. He also urged people to keep an eye on further developments.
"We have now taken a step forward by emerging from a critical, delicate phase. In the next stage, respect and politeness should be replaced by rhetoric and excess. Stay tuned for further updates...," he wrote on social media.
Will There Be a Two-Week Ceasefire?
CBS News reports that official ceasefire talks have begun between Pakistan and Iran.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is leading the process, while Vice President JD Vance is serving as the chief mediator on the U.S. side.

- As a reminder, CNN reports that positive signals may emerge from Iran and the U.S. in the near future. According to sources, the parties may reach a ceasefire agreement as early as tonight.
