The Iranian government has reportedly sent urgent diplomatic messages to several world powers in a bid to de-escalate tensions and end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
According to multiple international media sources, Iran is calling for immediate diplomatic engagement to prevent further military escalation following recent airstrikes and retaliatory attacks involving Israel and its allies.
Senior Iranian officials have conveyed their willingness to engage in dialogue through backchannel communications with European and regional mediators. These messages are said to stress Iran’s desire to avoid a broader war while still asserting its right to defend itself.
The development comes amid heightened fears of a full-scale regional conflict, especially after Iran and Israel exchanged military actions over the past few days. Both sides have sustained casualties and damages, prompting global concern.
A spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that communications were ongoing but did not provide details on the countries involved or the specific terms being proposed. However, diplomatic sources say Iran is appealing for a ceasefire and urging restraint from all parties.
In response, the United Nations and the European Union have welcomed the move, calling on both sides to seize the opportunity to de-escalate tensions and return to the negotiating table.
Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have not officially commented on the reported messages but continue to maintain a high-security alert across major cities and military installations.
Analysts say Iran’s outreach signals a shift in tone as the humanitarian and economic costs of continued warfare grow. They believe this could be an opportunity for international diplomacy to step in and prevent further devastation.
As of now, no ceasefire agreement has been reached, but efforts toward conflict resolution appear to be gaining momentum through diplomatic channels.
