Gate News reports that on March 26, the prospects for a diplomatic resolution to the US-Iran conflict remain bleak, but analysts believe there is still a pathway to an agreement. Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan are mediating and pushing for US and Iranian officials to meet as soon as this week. President Trump and his political allies have expressed a positive attitude toward the negotiations. It is reported that the US and Israel have temporarily removed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf from assassination lists for 4 to 5 days to create conditions for the start of talks. Both sides’ post-war demands significantly exceed their pre-war positions. Iran demands compensation for war damages from the US, the closure of Middle Eastern military bases, and charges for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz; the US demands Iran halt uranium enrichment, restore free navigation through the strait, and limit its missile program and support for regional militias. Michael Singh of the Washington Institute states that a minimum ceasefire agreement alongside a full agenda remains a feasible path forward.
