- A senior Iranian source said the US must return to an interim deal and that there are no ceasefire extension talks, per Reuters.
- Pakistan said the US and Iran are close to a 'peace arrangement or a deal,' and separately signaled progress in talks as Washington and Tehran traded reparation demands, per CBS News and CNBC.
Why it matters: The competing signals — Iran insisting on a return to a prior interim framework while Pakistan frames the parties as nearing a deal — suggest the diplomatic track is alive but the terms are still sharply contested, with each side publicly setting preconditions the other has yet to accept.
