A possible 10-day ceasefire has reportedly been proposed, and it comes with a major incentive: reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping routes.
Sounds promising... except no one's actually committing to it.
The White House says diplomacy is still "proceeding," but there's been no confirmation that Washington has accepted the proposal.
Meanwhile, Iran appears to be keeping diplomatic channels alive. Interior Minister Eskander Momeni traveled to Pakistan for talks aimed at reviving negotiations.
The problem? That diplomatic visit was almost completely overshadowed by another overnight wave of U.S. airstrikes, putting the focus right back on military escalation instead of peace.
So right now, both diplomacy and military action are happening at the same time. A ceasefire exists on paper—but until both sides publicly agree, the missiles are speaking louder than the negotiators.
