Pakistan brokers breakthrough truce

Islamabad's diplomatic intervention is being hailed as its biggest foreign policy win in years.

The Pakistani government acted as an intermediary during weeks of frantic backchannel negotiations, helping to make the proposal acceptable to Tehran's leadership.

Peace talks are now set to continue in the Pakistani capital this Friday, with high-level delegations expected from all sides.

While the truce is fragile, Pakistan's role has been publicly acknowledged by President Trump.

This success highlights the country's growing influence as a regional power broker in the Middle East conflict.
