Reports indicate that Tehran intends to postpone its planned missile strike on Israel to give President Trump's reconciliation initiatives a chance, with a possible agreement expected tonight. Qatar is mediating the talks, and one proposal includes lifting Iran's naval blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz instead of a phased easing.
Sources say Iran had planned to launch the missiles in the evening, possibly coinciding with major TV broadcasts, but delayed the operation several times after receiving direct messages from Trump. The U.S. president warned that any attack triggering a broader escalation could jeopardize the negotiations and hold Iran responsible for undermining diplomatic efforts.
An Israeli security source noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had feared an attack on Beirut would heighten tensions and derail diplomacy, yet the negotiations have continued despite the incident.
