DUBAI—Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.
In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to return to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. They also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.
But with Israeli warplanes able to fly freely over the capital and Iranian counterattacks inflicting minimal damage, Israeli leaders have little incentive to halt their assault before doing more to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites and further weaken the theocratic government’s hold on power.
Israeli strikes have killed key military leaders, including much of the top echelon of Iran’s air force, leaving Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei increasingly isolated. But the impact on nuclear facilities has been modest and analysts say it could take a long air war to get the results Israel wants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacks will continue until Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication he is ready to stop. He has also said regime change isn’t a goal but could be a result given the Iranian leadership’s weakness.

What is needed is not negotiations, but surrender.
A desperate move to keep Fordow intact.
My reply would be “Surrender”
Israel should negotiate the same way Korben Dallas negotiated with the Mangalores.
“Anyone else want to negotiate?”
Unconditional Surrender are the terms of negotiation.
Take it or bombs away!
LMAO
in other words they are out of missiles and need time to get or make more!
Islam is so predictable
Kinda what’s to be expected when you look around you and discover the only weapon you have left is a slingshot. If it were me, I turn all of their bases and weapons development areas into glass parking lots. You’re not going to change their minds, but at least you’ve made them start over with little more than sticks to fight with.
Keep pounding their ass!!!
Trump could take care of what Israel wants in one day.
No. They had their chance to “negotiate” and they pissed all over it.
Keep it up until there’s nothing left of these rag wearing Nazis.
L
Sure, abandon the nuclear ambitions, delivering the Uranium to Israel or whoever. Demonstratively blow up all your equipment.
And deliver the Ayatollah’s head in a box.
Then we can talk.
They want to live to fight another day for their mission of destroying Israel.
Israel should kill the Supreme Leader and end the Islamic Republic.
Iran is a secular people held hostage by an Islamist government they did not elect. Let them choose their own leadership.
Lucy and a football come to mind ...
Exactly. Eliminate the leadership. ALL of them. Give Iran back to the people.
One of many good scenes from that movie. I’m surprised nobody beat me to it.
>> What is needed is not negotiations, but surrender.
And/or organic regime change.
