The mediators believe that little progress has been made in the US-Iran negotiations, with Tehran maintaining its core demands unchanged.

Odaily reported that, according to the Wall Street Journal citing regional mediators and US officials familiar with the terms, Iran's position in the negotiations with the US to end the conflict has not significantly changed compared to previous rounds that failed to make progress, raising doubts about whether an "exit" from the conflict can be found. The mediators pointed out that Iran still insists on its core demands, including an end to hostilities, economic relief, war reparations, and a supervisory role in the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, there remains a clear divergence with the US over demands for Iran to shut down or long-term suspend its nuclear program. Regional sources stated that the US and Israel have been preparing for a new round of strikes against Iran in the coming days, with some even suggesting that an attack could occur as early as next week.（Jinshi）
