Well something is happening, but it’s not clear what it is yet (but make sure to check for updates at bottom of post).
Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade raced to the White House after he returned to D.C. this afternoon for an unscheduled and sudden National Security meeting. It is reported that Trump held a conference call with other Arab leaders in the region about the Iran situation. It is confirmed that there is a draft agreement on his desk, which he has read, but about which he revealed no details.

The draft agreement:
NEW: I just spoke to President Trump, who said "there's a draft" of an agreement with Iran that he has already read. He did not say whether he had signed off on the draft agreement — "I can't tell you before I tell them, right?" — but he did say "they're getting a lot closer."
