Iran is positively considering Pakistan's proposal to postpone the ultimatum set by US President Donald Trump, creating a new space for negotiations at the most critical moments of the crisis.
The news was reported by Reuters, citing a senior Iranian official. According to this source, Tehran is considering the possibility of a two-week extension of the deadline, linked to the temporary opening of the Strait of Hormuz - one of the most sensitive points of the current standoff.
This development comes just hours before the expiration of the American ultimatum and after Iran broke off diplomatic contacts, making Pakistan's proposal one of the last efforts to avoid escalation.
On the other hand, the White House confirmed that it is aware of the initiative of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
"We are aware of the proposal and will respond," US administration sources said, without providing further details on Washington's position.
The US reaction is expected to be decisive, as any decision to postpone or not the ultimatum could determine whether the crisis will move towards a diplomatic solution or an immediate military escalation.
At this stage, developments indicate a very fluid situation, where even a small diplomatic step could significantly change the course of events in the Middle East.
