Sources report that the U.S. is working on a mechanism under which a one-month ceasefire in the war against Iran would be declared, Israel's Channel 12 reports.

"During this time, the parties would discuss a point-by-point agreement similar to those signed regarding Gaza and Lebanon. The agreement would impose strict restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, along with other stringent conditions. There are doubts that Iran will agree. Meanwhile, Israel fears that the U.S. will push for a framework agreement and defer the details to a later stage.
