On April 7, according to a report from The Times of Israel, the US conducted consultations and close coordination with the Israeli side before officially announcing a temporary suspension of military operations.
Accordingly, the US will not compromise on core issues in the direct negotiation round scheduled to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan on April 10.
The central content of the US commitment is to require Iran to transport all nuclear materials out of its territory and completely stop uranium enrichment activities. This is considered a major obstacle to the 10-point peace plan that Tehran has just proposed, in which Iran requires the US to recognize their right to develop nuclear weapons.
The US side affirmed that it will only consider lifting economic sanctions after Iran completely eliminates threats from ballistic missile systems and long-range equipment.
While Iran is trying to promote a new security structure in the Gulf region with the participation of neighboring countries, the US and Israel are establishing a common front to ensure that all potential agreements must be accompanied by depriving Tehran of its nuclear deterrent capabilities.
This underground agreement is posing very big challenges for diplomats at the upcoming Islamabad round of negotiations. With Israel playing an observer role and putting pressure from behind, experts predict that the dialogues will be extremely tense.
If Iran does not accept the nuclear and missile conditions set by the US, the possibility of a ceasefire breaking down and large-scale military operations being restarted after two weeks is very high.
Currently, the reaction of the market and the international community to this 14-day ceasefire is still very cautious. The outcome of the negotiations will determine whether the Middle East region will move towards a stable agreement or continue to fall into a new cycle of conflict with a more serious level.
