IRGC Backchannel: How Egyptian Intel Unlocked Iran War Pause Amid US U-Turn
•US President Donald Trump abruptly shifted war strategy, announcing a five-day pause after threatening major strikes on Iran.
•The reversal followed intense, multi-country backchannel diplomacy across West Asia, led by regional powers like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.
•With traditional diplomatic channels blocked after the killing of Ali Larijani, Egyptian intelligence established a direct line to Iran's IRGC.
•A proposal for a five-day fighting pause as a confidence-building measure was floated through the IRGC, eventually reaching Washington.
•Trump agreed due to a diplomatic opening, economic pressure (calming oil prices and markets), and concerns over prolonged military engagement.
