Pakistan Mediates U.S.-Iran Peace

Despite its own internal political and economic volatility, Pakistan is positioning itself as an indispensable mediator in one of the world's most combustible rivalries.

High-level meetings between Pakistani officials and Iranian leadership aim to resolve sticking points regarding nuclear enrichment and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

While the U.S. has not formally requested an extension of the current two-week truce, the White House has expressed cautious optimism about the prospects of a lasting deal.

These negotiations represent a significant diplomatic shift as regional powers scramble to contain the fallout from the war.
