Mediators push for possible 45-day ceasefire in Iran vs. US and Israel [View all]

April 5 (Reuters) - The U.S., Iran and a group of ​regional mediators are discussing the terms ‌for a potential 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war, Axios ​reported on Sunday, citing four U.S., ​Israeli and regional sources with knowledge ⁠of the talks.

Reuters could not immediately verify ​the report.

The White House and the U.S. ​State Department did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.


The mediators are discussing the terms ​of a two-phased deal, the report ​said, adding that the first phase would be a ‌potential ⁠45-day ceasefire during which a permanent end to the war would be negotiated.

The second phase would be an agreement on ​ending the war, ​the ⁠report said.
