Tehran is considering postponing its planned missile retaliation on Israel to give Trump’s appeasement efforts a chance and potentially reach a framework deal tonight, Ynet reports.
Qatar is mediating the talks, with one proposal reportedly involving the immediate removal of the naval blockade on Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz rather than a phased easing.
Sources said Iran had planned to carry out a missile strike in the evening, potentially timed during major television broadcasts, but delayed it several times after receiving direct messages from Trump.
Trump warned that any attack triggering a wider cycle of escalation could jeopardize the negotiations and leave Iran responsible for the collapse of the diplomatic effort.
The U.S. president is said to be weighing additional concessions to keep the talks alive and secure an agreement.
An Israeli security source said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had expected the Beirut strike to provoke escalation and derail diplomacy, but the negotiations have continued despite the incident.
