Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan are acting as mediators between the United States and Iran in the negotiations. This was reported on social media platform X by Axios correspondent Barak Ravid.
"In the last two days, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan have conveyed messages from the US and Iran in an effort to ensure de-escalation," wrote correspondent Barak Ravid on social media X.

Earlier, Trump stated that the US and Iran had very productive negotiations over the past two days regarding a complete and comprehensive cessation of hostilities in the Middle East.
The politician noted the constructiveness of the dialogue with Tehran and, against this backdrop, ordered the Pentagon to pause strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days, provided that the current meetings and discussions are successfully concluded. According to the US president, negotiations between the two countries will continue for a week.
