According to the media: Progress seen in negotiations between the U.S. and Iran as Trump's deadline approaches.

Israeli media reported on the evening of the 7th that as the deadline set by US President Trump for Iran approaches, there has been some progress in US-Iran contacts. Efforts are being made to push for a temporary ceasefire and explore the possibility of gradually opening the Strait of Hormuz. Israel's public broadcasting company quoted diplomatic sources as saying that Pakistan has proposed a two-week extension of the deadline, and negotiations are underway, with "positive progress" in the contacts, but no final agreement has been reached. According to Israel's "New Messenger" website, the contacts are moving towards a temporary ceasefire, during which time the Strait of Hormuz may gradually reopen. The report cited regional intelligence officials as saying that the parties are closer to a ceasefire than expected and are trying to reach some kind of arrangement before the deadline.
