US President Trump stated on Friday that he is considering a "phased end" to the war, but US officials indicated that the fighting is expected to continue for another two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Trump's advisors hope to begin preparing for diplomatic mediation. Sources revealed that Trump's envoys Kushner and Wittcoff are participating in discussions regarding potential diplomatic avenues.

Other sources also revealed that although Egypt, Qatar, and the UK have all conveyed messages between the US and Iran, there have been no direct contacts between the US and Iran in recent days.
