A quote attributed to Ismail Baghaei, the spokesman for the Islamic Republic&#8217;s Foreign Ministry, regarding &#8220;accepting a ceasefire mediated by Pakistan&#8221; was published but was deleted minutes later. It was quickly picked up but now Fars says that news about a ceasefire has not been published by any official source.<\/p>\n<p>Between these two reports, you get the sense that there is some good news behind the scenes but it&#8217;s going to be a bumpy road. They&#8217;re still fighting over the preliminary conditions for talks and not the details of any agreement. It&#8217;s hard to say whether the IRGC is driving a hard line, it&#8217;s miscommunication or US efforts to sow confusion. <\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Post texted President Trump to ask about the possibility of renewed mediation efforts and talks within the next 36-72 hours and he responded: \u201cIt\u2019s possible!
