Inside the Diplomacy: Donald Trump Halts Strikes Amid Global Mediation
A potential diplomatic breakthrough may be underway as Donald Trump announces a 5-day pause in strikes on Iran, raising hopes of de-escalation.
Behind the scenes, intense backchannel diplomacy is unfolding. Foreign ministers from Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan met in Riyadh to find a path forward. Meanwhile, intermediaries are relaying messages between Washington and Tehran, with no direct contact yet established.
Key figures like Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are reportedly leading efforts, while Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is emerging as a central negotiator. Talks may even take place in Islamabad.
However, major hurdles remain - including Iran's demand for guarantees against future strikes.
Is this the beginning of a peace deal or just a temporary pause in a larger conflict? Watch the full report for all the latest developments.
