According to Lebanon's Al-Nashra news website, a knowledgeable diplomatic source stated that the United States and Iran are actively holding meetings and communications aimed at pushing both sides to announce a de-escalation of tensions at this stage. The source added that the next few hours are crucial, as all parties are considering announcing a preliminary agreement to pave the way for a comprehensive consensus after the US midterm elections. The source emphasized that the current positive signs increase the likelihood of reaching such an agreement before voting begins in the US midterm elections. However, he did not confirm that the two sides would definitely reach a consensus and expressed concern that unexpected events in the next few hours could hinder the formation of a preliminary agreement.
