Nabil Al-Atoum, Director of the Iranian Studies Program, said that Iran faces a historic opportunity after the postponement of the US military strike.

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Atoum added that regional countries, led by Saudi Arabia, are playing a significant role in efforts to reduce tensions.

He continued that these countries are acting as positive mediators, but Iran does not appreciate these mediation efforts. In recent periods, Iran has carried out direct attacks using missiles and drones targeting several facilities.

While regional states are working to calm the situation and de-escalate tensions between the United States and Iran, Iran has repeatedly attacked neighboring countries. Meanwhile, the United States seeks to resolve the negotiating position quickly following the recent ceasefire decision by President Donald Trump.
