U.S. media: The White House privately reveals that reaching an agreement with Iran will take time, possibly another 2-4 weeks

According to CBS News, two sources familiar with the situation revealed that the White House privately informed allies that a diplomatic agreement between the U.S. and Iran will take time. They also added that the U.S. estimates that the intense actions of the war itself will continue for another two to four weeks.

Two sources close to Iranian officials indicated that Tehran believes diplomatic negotiations will require time. These sources stated that Iran is skeptical about the U.S.'s interest in reaching an agreement and that Tehran believes high energy prices provide favorable conditions for Iran.

The two sources also mentioned that Iran is skeptical about the joint timeline between the U.S. and Israel for ending the fighting. The Israel Defense Forces had previously stated that they expect the fighting to continue until Passover (the first week of April).
