As the US-Iran conflict enters its 38th day, the standoff remains deadlocked between military escalation and diplomatic efforts. On April 6, US President Donald Trump once again delayed a deadline for striking Iranian energy infrastructure to 8 p.m. ET on April 7, signaling a "last chance" for a negotiated settlement. The US is pushing for a 45-day temporary ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt, followed by permanent peace talks. However, Iran has firmly rejected a short-term truce, instead presenting 10 conditions for a permanent end to the conflict, including the lifting of all sanctions, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and security guarantees.
