<p>Qatari mediators have presented Iran with a fresh draft agreement aimed at ending its war with the United States and Israel. Tehran is expected to respond to the proposal by the end of this week, an official briefed on the negotiations said on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The proposed deal sets out a seven-day timeline to address the concerns of both Iran and Washington. According to the official, quoted by Reuters, it includes daily confidence-building measures that both sides would be required to take.</p>
<p>The timeline could begin early next week, with several countries expected to act as guarantors of the agreement, the official added.</p>
<p>Qatar and Pakistan have been leading diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, which was launched by the US and Israel in February. The war has disrupted global shipping and oil supplies and spread to other parts of the Middle East.</p>
<p>The new draft, which is being considered by Iran, seeks to establish a sequence of steps for both Tehran and Washington to build confidence over seven days.</p>
<p>The official, who was briefed on the negotiations, said the proposal would require both sides to take daily measures. However, the specific steps included in the draft have not been disclosed.</p>
<p>Qatari mediators presented Iran with a fresh draft agreement aimed at ending the war with the United States and Israel.</p>
<p>The proposed deal outlines a seven-day timeline requiring daily confidence-building measures from both sides.</p>
<p>An interim peace agreement mediated previously fell apart after being established in June.</p>
<p>Several countries could guarantee the agreement, according to the official. The proposed timeline may begin early next week, although the final arrangements remain subject to the ongoing discussions.</p>
<p>Qatar, alongside Pakistan, has taken the lead in mediation efforts aimed at ending the war. The latest proposal comes as concerns grow over the possibility of further military action against Iran.</p>
<p>Ahead of Sunday’s meeting in Tehran, there were concerns that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could order fresh attacks on Iran this week. Netanyahu is fighting for another term in a general election, the official briefed on the negotiations said.</p>
<p>US President Donald Trump also renewed his threats to strike Iran on Friday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Iranian security officials told Reuters that Tehran had drawn up detailed plans to target undersea cables in the Gulf if the United States and Israel resumed their attacks.</p>
<p>The developments add to the uncertainty surrounding the diplomatic efforts, with the latest proposal seeking to establish a framework for confidence-building measures between Tehran and Washington.</p>
<p>Previous mediation efforts had resulted in an interim peace agreement in June. However, that arrangement quickly fell apart, highlighting the difficulties in securing a lasting settlement.</p>
<p>The latest draft represents another attempt to end the conflict through negotiations led by Qatar and Pakistan. Iran is expected to communicate its response by the end of the week, according to the official.</p>
<p>The conflict has also affected the wider region. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels have launched repeated attacks against Saudi Arabia in recent weeks. Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest crude exporter.</p>
<p>With oil supplies and global shipping already disrupted, the proposed agreement comes amid concerns about further escalation across the Middle East. Whether the seven-day framework can move forward will depend on Iran’s response and the steps agreed upon by the parties involved.</p>
