American officials: US-Iran ceasefire agreement "hope fading"
Some American officials say that President Trump is not very optimistic about reaching an agreement with Iran privately. It is expected that the final order to strike Iran will be issued on the evening of the 7th of the East Coast time. However, Trump's thoughts may change at any time depending on the situation.
According to a report from CCTV News citing US sources on the 6th, the mediators are pessimistic that Iran will "surrender" to the deadline set by US President Trump and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Hope for a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran is fading.
Some US officials have stated that there is a significant gap in positions between the US and Iran that is difficult to bridge before the final deadline set by Trump on the 7th at 8 pm Eastern Time. At the same time, according to Arab officials familiar with the situation, Iranian officials have informed the mediators that even if negotiations with the US progress, they expect the US to continue attacking Iran, and Israel to continue launching airstrikes against Iranian officials.
Some US officials have said that Trump is privately "less optimistic" about reaching an agreement with Iran, and it is expected that he will give the final order to strike Iran on the evening of the 7th Eastern Time. However, Trump's thoughts may change at any time depending on the situation. Trump is eager to end the war, realizing that the American people have limited patience for further military action.
