Gate News news, March 30, according to a report by CBS, the U.S. network, two people familiar with the matter said the White House has privately told allies that the United States and Iran need time to reach a diplomatic agreement. The sources added that the United States estimates that intense fighting operations will last another 2 to 4 weeks.
Two people close to Iranian officials said Tehran believes that diplomatic negotiations require time. These sources said Iran is skeptical about the United States’ potential interest in reaching an agreement, and that Tehran believes high energy prices give Iran favorable conditions.
The two sources also said Iran is skeptical about the joint timeline between the United States and Israel regarding ending the fighting. Israel Defense Forces previously said it expects the fighting to continue until after Passover (i.e., the first week of April).
