Diplomatic Lifeline: Tehran Confirms "Open Channels" Amid Trump’s 8 PM Deadline
Tehran Times Reports Active Indirect Negotiations via Pakistan; Markets Watch as "Civilization" Deadline Looms
In a high-stakes moment of "eleventh-hour" diplomacy, the Tehran Times and state-run Iranian agencies reported on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, that diplomatic and indirect communication channels with the United States remain operational. This confirmation comes at the most precarious moment of the two-month-old conflict, as President Donald Trump’s final ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is set to expire at 8:00 PM ET tonight.
Despite the heavy military rhetoric and ongoing airstrikes, the admission of "open channels" suggests that both Washington and Tehran are seeking an exit ramp to avoid a full-scale regional collapse.
