Fresh signs of diplomatic progress have emerged in efforts to end the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, as mediators continue discussions aimed at reaching a peace agreement.
Iran’s ISNA news agency reported that Tehran and Washington are exchanging messages and draft proposals to establish a formal framework for ending the war. Pakistani officials are also said to be playing a key mediation role, with negotiations reportedly intensifying behind the scenes.
An Iranian official told reporters that a possible agreement was “close”, although another source cautioned that it was still too early to predict a final breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian impact of the conflict continues to unfold. The Iranian Red Crescent said more than 7,200 people were rescued from rubble during weeks of US and Israeli air strikes before the current ceasefire began in April.
Iran also condemned the reported bombing of the Pasteur Institute of Iran, describing the strike on the medical research centre as a “war crime”. Tehran said the attack severely damaged public health services and endangered regional health security.
In neighbouring Lebanon, authorities reported that an overnight Israeli air strike on a medical centre in the south killed four people and wounded two paramedics.
Oil markets reacted cautiously to the ongoing uncertainty. Brent crude prices rose above $104 per barrel amid doubts over whether negotiations would successfully resolve disagreements over Iran’s uranium stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
Despite tensions, signs of normal life have started returning to Tehran, where concerts and cultural events resumed following the ceasefire. Musicians performed at venues including the Tehran Symphony Orchestra’s first official concert of the year.
The developments come as diplomatic pressure grows internationally to prevent a wider regional escalation and secure a lasting settlement to the conflict.
