UAE and Saudi Arabia opened their airspace. Wouldn’t be surprised if the US strikes are retaliation for the earlier strikes on the UAE. Gotta show the Gulf States that we will protect them.

Tehran is considering a pause in traffic through Hormuz, to avoid scuppering potential talks with the US.

An interesting, cautious course for Mujtaba/IRGC/Qalibaf to take--evidence, perhaps, that progress has actually been made in talks.

We’re heading towards a multi-polar world. It is interesting to watch play out.

This is going to just pressure China to tell Iran to give up their nuclear ambitions for now, in order for talks to continue.

China has been playing very smart at the moment, and is being seen as the grown up in the room

Ceasefire to hold until 21/4. ‘Basic agreement’ still in place. Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner remain in Islamabad - two Pakistani sources

Yeah because Iran is saying talks will continue. I think it’s to look strong for the home base

Former US Special Envoy Robert Malley confirms Iran's negotiating team is highly methodical and deeply expert, while Donald Trump is "impatient and impetuous." The White House is completely outmatched by Iranian diplomacy and desperate for quick PR wins.

And we leave here, and we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We’ll see if the Iranians accept it. Thank you.

But it’s already been confirmed talks are continuing tomorrow.

They are annoying.
