U.S. and Mediators in Fresh Push for Cease-Fire

“The U.S. and regional mediators are pushing for a ⁠45-day cease-fire that could lead to a permanent end to the ‌war with Iran, but the chances for a breakthrough remain slim,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Axios: “The sources said the chances for reaching a partial deal over the next 48 hours are slim. But this last-ditch effort is the only chance to prevent a dramatic escalation in the war that will include massive strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure and a retaliation against energy and water facilities in the Gulf states.”
