Recent Military and Diplomatic Developments U.S.
President Donald Trump discussed the proposed deal in calls with regional leaders over the weekend. Late Monday, the United States conducted what it described as self-defense strikes in southern Iran while stating that the ceasefire remained in effect.
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a final agreement could take several days to complete. Iran has issued fewer public statements about the talks.
Iran seeks guarantees against renewed military action and early sanctions relief as part of any deal. Tehran also wants the agreement to include a ceasefire that binds Israel in Lebanon. Iranian officials have preserved military assets and maintained readiness while the talks proceed.
The leadership has indicated it will not accept terms viewed as undermining the ideological foundations of the Islamic Republic.
