[Recent Developments Indicate the U.S. and Iran Are Gradually Moving Toward a Resolution Framework] According to a report by Jinse Finance on April 27, citing Al Jazeera and a diplomatic source, recent developments have acted as a catalyst, reinforcing the view that (the United States and Iran) need to permanently end their state of hostility. Sources in Islamabad indicate that all parties are gradually approaching a certain framework, which will provide the context for reaching an agreement. This framework not only involves Iran and the United States but will essentially include Gulf countries as well. Several Gulf nations have expressed that the current situation necessitates their inclusion in any final resolution, as they do not wish to see a repeat of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the "Iran nuclear deal," during which they felt excluded. Therefore, all these developments appear to be progressing toward the conclusion of an agreement. Pakistan remains hopeful for a second round of talks, and although details remain unclear, diplomatic mediation is ongoing. (Dongxin News Agency)
