Iran may consider indirect talks with the United States in an attempt to defuse the conflict in the Middle East, according to a senior Iranian official.
According to this source, Pakistan has transmitted an American proposal to Tehran, and countries like Turkey or Pakistan could host possible talks.
These elements constitute one of the few signs of diplomatic openness, even as Iranian authorities continue to publicly deny any negotiations with Washington.
This position contrasts with the statements of the American president. Donald Trumpwhich states that discussions are ongoing and that progress has been made.
On the ground, hostilities continue: Israel has carried out strikes in Tehran, while Iran has launched attacks against Israel and American bases in the region.
At the same time, the United States plans to strengthen its military presence in the Gulf, notably with the deployment of thousands of paratroopers.
Despite this escalation, the possibility of discussions via intermediaries suggests a possible path to de-escalation, even if official positions remain firm on both sides.
This situation illustrates the complexity of the diplomatic game, where contacts can exist behind the scenes despite very tense public speeches.
