By Ariba Shahid, Steve Holland and Nayera Abdallah By Ariba Shahid, Steve Holland and Nayera Abdallah ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON/DUBAI, May 7 (Reuters) – The United States and Iran are edging toward a limited, temporary agreement to halt their war, sources and officials said on Thursday, with a draft framework that would stop the fighting but leave the most contentious issues unresolved. The emerging plan centres on a short-term memorandum rather than a comprehensive peace deal, underscoring deep divisions between the two sides and signalling that any agreement at this stage would be an interim step. Hopes that even a partial deal could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have already moved markets, with global stocks approaching record highs on Thursday and oil prices nursing steep losses on bets that supply disruptions could ease. Tehran and Washington have scaled back ambitions for a sweeping settlement as differences persist, particularly over Iran‘s nuclear program— including the fate of its highly enriched uranium stockpiles and how long Tehran would halt nuclear work. Instead, they are working toward a temporary arrangement aimed at preventing a return to conflict and stabilising shipping through the strait, the sources and officials said. “Our priority is that they announce a permanent end to war and the rest of the issues could be thrashed out once they get back to direct talks,” a senior Pakistani official involved in mediation between the two sides told Reuters. The proposed framework would unfold in three stages: formally ending the war, resolving the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and launching a 30-day window for negotiations on a broader agreement, according to the sources and officials. A Pakistani source and another source briefed on the mediation said a one-page memorandum to formally end the conflict was close, though gaps remain between the sides.
By Kayhan Life Staff May 7 - Aila Navidi — a Frenc By Kayhan Life Staff May 7 - Aila Navidi — a French-Iranian playwright and director who in 2024 won a Molière, France’s most prestigious stage award — made a poignant speech about Iran at this year’s Molières ceremony. Navidi in 2024 won the award for Best Show in a Private Theater for her play « 4211 km ». Les Molières are the equivalent of the US Tony Awards and the British Olivier Awards, and are awarded for excellence in French theater. Before presenting an award at this year’s ceremony on May 4 at the Théâtre Marigny in Paris, she said she was honored to celebrate those who write, tell stories, and nourish our souls. “It is sometimes our responsibility as artists to give voice to those who have none,” she said. “I would therefore like to share with you the words of an Iranian woman, which she managed to convey to us despite the internet blackout imposed by the Islamic Republic: ‘April 1, 2026. The war begins. It’ll be okay, Azizam [my dear]. They’re going to rid us of our tormentors. After everything they’ve done to us, this has to stop. Six days later, when the bombs are falling and we have light, it’s okay, but when we’re plunged into darkness, I feel like I’m already in my coffin, my daughter in my arms.’ Then Navidi read out the woman’s last message: ‘Things have calmed down, but we’re being held hostage. If we don’t die under the bombs, the Islamic Republic will kill us.’ Navidi said: “This is one voice among the millions trapped between the bombs meant to free them and a terrorist regime that continues to oppress and execute its people … Every morning, Iranians wake up to news of more hangings. More than 600 since the start of the year. Yesterday, they were Nasser Bakerzadeh and Mehrab Abdollahzadeh, 26 and 28 years old.” “I wonder: What are we doing, we, the country of human rights,” asked Navidi. “Despite the repression, the torture, the hanging, the bombs, grieving mothers dance while weeping, political prisoners recite poems to escape. Hope lies in them, in their courage, in their resilience.” Continues as a free article on kayhanlife.com @aila.navidi #kayhanlife #4211km
By Roshanak Astaraki (@roshanak.astaraki) May 7 - By Roshanak Astaraki (@roshanak.astaraki) May 7 - May 1 marked International Workers’ Day, also known as Labor Day in some countries. For Iranian workers, however, the day was far from a celebration of their contributions to the economy and national development. Instead, it served as a stark reminder of meager wages, widespread poverty, and the persistent denial of labor rights. This year, International Workers’ Day arrived amid a surge of layoffs triggered by stagflation, exacerbated by prolonged internet shutdowns and the ongoing consequences of war. For decades, Iranian workers have struggled to secure basic labor rights and fair wages. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran has not only neglected these rights but has compounded the problem by blocking the lawful operation of independent labor unions, scrutinizing labor activism, and suppressing workers’ movements. The absence of independent labor organizations has left employees across multiple sectors grappling with deeply rooted problems that affect their livelihoods, dignity, health, and even survival. Among the most urgent concerns is workplace safety, which has increasingly been neglected due to the additional costs it imposes on employers. The failure to adhere to safety standards has become a direct threat to workers’ health and lives. Alarmingly, the incidence of work-related injuries and fatalities in Iran exceeds the global average. Between last year’s International Workers’ Day and this year, at least 5,019 Iranian workers were either injured or killed in workplace accidents. Within the same period, at least 4,433 workers suffered injuries from work-related incidents, while 586 lost their lives. Continues as a free article on kayhanlife.com #kayhanlife #iraneconomy
