The Israeli and Iranian authorities, with Russian mediation, are conducting indirect negotiations in which the parties agree to refrain from attacking each other.
As the Washington Post reported, citing diplomats and regional officials with knowledge, the exchange of messages intensified in late December following a visit by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi to Moscow.

Previously there was information that Iran closed airspace.
