The prospects for the US-Iran ceasefire agreement are bleak, with mediators pessimistic about Iran "yielding" before the US deadline. The gap between the US and Iran's positions is significant and difficult to bridge. Trump's optimism about the agreement has diminished, and he may issue strikes against Iran before the deadline.

People’s Finance News, April 7—According to messages from the U.S. side on April 6, the mediators are pessimistic that Iran will “surrender” before the deadline set by U.S. President Trump and will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and that the U.S.-Iran sides have reached a ceasefire deal with “hope fading.” Some U.S. officials said that before the deadline of 20:00 Eastern Time on April 7 set by Trump arrives, the gap between the positions of the U.S. and Iran is “too large to narrow.” Meanwhile, according to officials from Arab countries familiar with the situation, Iranian officials have told the mediators that even if negotiations with the U.S. make progress, they expect the U.S. to continue attacking Iran, and that Israel will continue to carry out airstrikes on Iran to “remove” Iran’s senior officials. Some U.S. officials said that privately, Trump is “less optimistic” about a U.S.-Iran agreement and expects to issue the final order to strike Iran on the night of April 7 Eastern Time, but Trump’s thinking could change at any time depending on developments. Trump wants to end the war, and he realizes that the American public has limited patience for more military action. (CCTV News)
