Verdict history

When	From	To	Why
2026-10-30 18:00 UTC	2026-11-03	2027-01-26	Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. Axios reporting carried by Al Jazeera said Oman was leading mediation with US envoys involved and had proposed a 10-day ceasefire (ev-20261027-kg0h), while Iran says intermediaries only relay messages. That single origin does not settle whether indirect negotiations were under way. Next check on the ladder from 2026-07-26 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly).
