[Israeli Media: US-Iran Talks Progress as Trump's Deadline Approaches] Israeli media reported on the evening of the 7th that, with the deadline set by US President Trump for Iran approaching, US-Iran talks have made some progress. All parties are working to reach a temporary ceasefire and explore the possibility of gradually reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Israel's public broadcaster, citing diplomatic sources, reported that Pakistan has proposed extending the deadline by two weeks, and consultations are underway with "positive progress," but nothing has been finalized. According to the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, the talks are moving towards a temporary ceasefire, during which the Strait of Hormuz may be gradually reopened. The report quoted regional intelligence officials as saying that all parties are closer to a ceasefire than expected and are trying to reach some kind of arrangement before the deadline. Israel's Channel 12 television, citing military sources, said that the current situation is unclear and could "lead to fighting or an agreement." Israel is preparing for various scenarios, including a ceasefire, a framework agreement, and expanded military operations. The report also stated that Israeli officials described the next few hours as a "critical moment" and expressed concern that the US and Iran might reach some kind of deadline extension or framework agreement at the last minute, believing that such an arrangement might not fully meet Israel's interests.
