The US is likely to attack Iran again, and the Persian Gulf region is filled with exhaustion and tension. Gulf officials are stepping up their mediation efforts to break the US-Iran impasse. They know that once the conflict escalates, they will bear the brunt of the impact. There are US military bases in many countries in the Gulf, and as a result, they have been hit by Iran's retaliatory attacks. As concerns about Trump's war plans have intensified, leaders in these countries have publicly and privately called for the situation to cool down. Another official who knows about the negotiations and requested anonymity due to the sensitive situation said that on the one hand, Trump is willing to accept the agreement, and on the other hand, he does not rule out restarting the attack. The official added that US Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law and special envoy Jared Kushner are all pushing for an agreement, but Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and others are opposed. An Iranian official said, “The next two days will determine the direction of the situation.” He added that the US side hopes to achieve a positive breakthrough before the midterm elections.
