As hostilities between Iran and Israel escalate, with missile strikes reported on both sides and a rising death toll, Iran has expressed a desire to de-escalate the conflict and engage in talks. The Iranian parliament is reportedly preparing a bill to withdraw from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty as a show of defiance amid the strikes. In response, Israel continues its military operations, with officials stating that the campaign is not yet over. Despite the tumultuous situation, oil prices have dropped amid indications that Iran is seeking a ceasefire, leading to cautious optimism in the markets. The U.S. is also involved, with reports suggesting Iran is looking for American pressure on Israel to halt attacks, while simultaneously expressing openness to negotiations over its nuclear program. Key mediators in the region, including Qatar and Oman, are being leveraged by Iran in hopes of reaching a diplomatic solution to end the ongoing conflict.
