Iran-US Ceasefire Nears Expiration

The temporary truce in the conflict unleashed by the U.S. and Israel on Iran is approaching its final hours, leaving global markets and regional powers in a state of high alert.

President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism regarding an extension, stating that the U.S. military is prepared to resume strikes if Tehran does not agree to a 'great deal.' Meanwhile, Pakistani mediators are racing to facilitate a second round of negotiations in Islamabad despite conflicting reports about the participation of an Iranian delegation.

The outcome of these talks is critical for restoring stability to the Strait of Hormuz and easing the global energy crisis.
