Despite the intensifying military conflict between Israel and Iran, diplomatic efforts are reportedly underway to de-escalate the volatile situation. European diplomats are said to be engaging in nuclear talks with Iran, while both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have offered to mediate between the warring nations.
International bodies, including the UN Secretary-General, have issued urgent pleas for an immediate halt to the escalation, stressing the critical need for peace and diplomacy. This comes as the region faces widespread instability, compounded by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and concerns about the potential for wider regional war.
