Diplomatic efforts to end the war between the United States and Iran are intensifying as a ceasefire deadline approaches. Pakistani, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators will continue talks with both nations in the coming days, according to a regional source and a U.S. official. All parties reportedly still believe a deal is possible.

Negotiators hope that narrowing the remaining gaps could enable another round of negotiations before the current truce expires on April 21. The situation remains fluid, with the U.S. decision to walk away from talks in Pakistan described as part of the ongoing bargaining process. A regional source characterized the atmosphere, stating, "We are not in a complete deadlock. The door is not closed yet."
