According to Iranian and regional sources, Tehran has asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman to mediate with US President Donald Trump to pressure Tel Aviv into agreeing to an immediate ceasefire, offering flexibility in nuclear talks in return.
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.

He added that neighboring countries suffer from Iranian influence through militias supported by the Iranian regime. The minister also spoke about ongoing European contacts—led by Germany, France, and the United Kingdom—with the Iranian foreign minister, during which a clear proposal was presented for a negotiated solution regarding Iran's nuclear program.

Iran extends flight suspension amid escalating tensions with ‘Israel'
Iran's Civil Aviation Organization announced on Wednesday the extension of its nationwide flight suspension until 2 AM Thursday, citing ongoing military escalation with the Israeli Occupation and fears of renewed airstrikes. The decision comes as the region witnesses unprecedented tensions following a series of cross-border attacks between Tehran and 'Israel'. In recent days, 'Israeli' forces have carried out strikes on military and industrial sites inside Iran, including a facility near Tehran used for producing centrifuges. Several Iranian cities, including the capital, remain on high alert, with frequent air raid sirens and the presence of defensive aircraft reported. Authorities have also imposed internet restrictions and intensified security measures across the country. Observers say the continued suspension of flights reflects serious concerns that airports or civilian aircraft could become targets amid the ongoing conflict.
