Gulf States Urge US to Broker Iran-Israel Ceasefire Amid Nuclear Deal Talks

In a significant diplomatic maneuver, Tehran has reached out to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, urging them to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to encourage Israel toward an immediate ceasefire. Iran promises more flexibility in nuclear negotiations in return, according to multiple sources.

Throughout the weekend, Gulf leaders and diplomats have been in constant communication, both regionally and internationally, in efforts to stave off an escalation between Israel and Iran. The tension between the two nations has intensified to unprecedented levels.

With fears mounting that the conflict could spiral out of control, Gulf nations have collectively appealed to the U.S. to press Israel for a ceasefire and to restart nuclear discussions with Tehran. The U.S. administration has yet to comment on these diplomatic appeals.
