According to news from the US side on the 9th, people familiar with the matter said that Pakistan, Qatar, and other regional mediators urged the US and Iran to de-escalate the tense situation and resume negotiations on Iran's nuclear issue. According to the mediator and US officials, officials from Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia spoke on the phone with US and Iranian officials on the 8th to urge both sides to de-escalate the tense situation. Iranian sources said on the 9th that the area surrounding Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant and other places were attacked by the US military on the same day. Explosions were heard in the coastal area of Bandar Abbas and the coastal city of Konarak that night. Some US officials said that although there are reports of another explosion in southern Iran, the US military did not launch a new round of attacks on the 9th. Also, according to US sources, after two consecutive nighttime attacks, the US military suspended operations from the night of the 9th to the early morning of the 10th. Furthermore, the US and Iran are still engaged in “technical negotiations” on the nuclear issue with a view to reaching a diplomatic solution. Iran has yet to respond to this. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued a statement on the 9th saying that it hit the US military command and control center in West Asia and US military targets in Jordan with 10 ballistic missiles. Ali Waez, director of the Iran Program at the International Crisis Research Organization, believes that the current military confrontation is a means of mutual pressure between the US and Iran, and that the diplomatic door has not yet been closed. In a context where the US and Iran are unwilling to restart the war but want to gain an advantage in negotiations, the two sides may continue to maintain a game trend of limited conflict and indirect contact.
