US and Iran weigh ceasefire

International mediators, led by Pakistan, have arrived in Tehran in a high-stakes bid to prevent the resumption of full-scale hostilities as the current ceasefire nears its expiration.

The Trump administration has expressed measured optimism about a potential deal that could reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

However, the White House has clarified that no formal request for an extension has been made, emphasizing that any agreement must address core security concerns.

The outcome of these indirect talks remains the primary driver of global economic sentiment and energy market stability.
