Sources revealed that Gulf leaders and diplomats held intense consultations over the weekend with Tehran, Washington, and other parties, aiming to contain the escalation and prevent the conflict between Iran and 'Israel' from spiraling further.
One Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran is willing to show flexibility in its nuclear negotiations if a ceasefire is achieved, while a Gulf source expressed deep concern over the risk of the conflict spinning out of control.
The development comes amid growing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the region’s most direct and dangerous confrontation yet.
However, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has denied the reports, stating that Tehran has not dispatched any negotiating delegation to the Sultanate.
