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 United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials.

The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities.

They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

Iran has reportedly told Arab officials it could accelerate its nuclear program and expand the scope of the war if there are no prospects of resuming talks with the US.
