According to Axios, the US, Iran, and mediators are pushing for a 45-day ceasefire.

According to a report by Axios, which cited four US, Israeli, and regional sources with knowledge of the talks, the US, Iran, and a group of regional mediators are negotiating the terms of a possible 45-day ceasefire that may result in a permanent end to the war.

Reuters was unable to confirm the report right away.

Reuters’ inquiries for comment were not immediately answered by the US State Department or the White House.

According to the article, the mediators are negotiating the conditions of a two-part agreement. The first phase would be a possible 45-day ceasefire during which negotiations for a permanent end to the war would take place.

An deal to stop the war would be the second phase, according to the article.

According to the article, if more time was needed for negotiations, the ceasefire may be extended.

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump warned the Wall Street Journal that Iran had until Tuesday night to open the Strait of Hormuz or risk assaults on vital infrastructure.

The report described the effort as a final attempt to avert a sharp escalation, including possible strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure and retaliatory attacks on energy and water facilities in Gulf states, but stated that the chances of reaching even a partial agreement within 48 hours were deemed slim.
