Sources told NewsNation that Iran and the U.S. have held multiple intermediary
rounds in recent days on a 'seven-day' plan aimed at preventing a resumption of
U.S.-Iran military action after the U.S. midterm elections. Sources described
talks as progressing positively but not reaching a final agreement. U.S. special
envoy Witkoff and Kushner are reported to be involved. One source said if Iran
rejects the proposal, Trump may have no choice but to order U.S. strikes.
Sources conflict on allied notification: one said the U.S. has not informed Gulf
allies of plans for short, high‑intensity post-midterm operations; the Wall
Street Journal reports the U.S. has told multiple Gulf Arab states to prepare
for such operations.
