New details from behind the scenes of the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran shed light on a process filled with tension, pressure and feverish negotiations, where the intervention of the Iranian leadership proved decisive.
According to a report by Axios, Tehran's new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, gave the decisive signal by instructing negotiators to move towards an agreement, for the first time since the conflict began. Sources emphasize that without his "green light", the agreement would not have been reached.
At the same time, the situation on the ground was close to escalating. US forces in the region and the Pentagon were preparing a broad bombing campaign against Iranian infrastructure, while allies in the Middle East expected possible retaliation from Tehran. One US official described the situation as “chaotic.”
Negotiations intensified on Monday, when US envoy Steve Witkoff rejected an Iranian counterproposal, calling it a “disaster.” After a day filled with revisions and mediation by countries including Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, the sides reached a new draft compromise.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi played a key role in managing the negotiations and convincing internal structures to accept the agreement, while China also advised Iran to seek a way out of the conflict.
However, even in the final moments, tensions remained high. US President Donald Trump issued stark warnings, declaring that “an entire civilization could die tonight”, while intensive phone calls with allies took place in parallel. Vice President JD Vance and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were in constant communication with Washington.
Despite pressure from hardline advisers to reject the deal, Trump ultimately accepted it, after securing Israel's commitment. The final decision was also coordinated with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan's military command.
After the agreement was announced, Iran confirmed that it would adhere to the ceasefire and allow the opening of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime transport, in coordination with its armed forces.
However, the future of the deal remains uncertain. According to sources, deep differences remain between the US and Iran, while there is a real risk that war will resume if the upcoming negotiations fail. The focus of the talks is expected to be Iran's nuclear program and limiting its missile capabilities.
