The declaration of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran has partially eased global tensions, though it remains uncertain whether this pause will evolve into a long-term peace agreement.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Turkey's "Hurriyet" newspaper has published a detailed analysis regarding the current situation.
According to the publication, the ceasefire agreement was reached partly through intensive diplomatic contacts conducted along the Ankara-Washington-Tehran-Islamabad-Doha line. It is reported that the Turkish leadership held approximately 50 telephone conversations with partners as part of this process. Ankara continues its efforts to transform the temporary ceasefire into a permanent agreement and is currently working on the format and agenda for the Iran talks scheduled to be held in Islamabad this Friday.
Columnist Hande Firat noted that there is no clear winner in the current confrontation; however, Iran emerges as the party that has not been defeated. According to her analysis, Iran's regime remains intact, and its missile potential has been preserved. The article also suggests that losses within the US Air Force influenced the outcome of the confrontation, claiming that Washington directed approximately 70 percent of its missile potential toward this conflict.
The current de-escalation comes at a critical time for regional stability. Under the administration of US President Donald Trump, Washington has maintained a policy of strategic pressure while simultaneously engaging in high-level diplomacy to prevent a full-scale regional war. The upcoming meetings in Islamabad are expected to serve as a pivotal platform for defining the future of Middle Eastern security and the sustainability of the current truce between the two nations.
