Iran's foreign minister expressed willingness to ease the situation, sending a signal of de-escalation by first halting the fighting before negotiations.

Iran's Foreign Minister Alagheli made a recent statement: "We are willing to prepare for de-escalation, but aggression must stop first - attacks must stop first. Only after that can negotiations take place, and we can consider it."

Comment: Iran's statement actually has already actively sent out signals of cooling down and willingness to make concessions. It did not insist on retaliating completely, but clearly put forward the idea of "ceasefire first, then negotiation," which means handing over the choice of ceasing fire and easing the situation to the other party, which is itself a gesture of compromise.
