US–Iran War: Historic Peace Talks Begin in Pakistan Amid Rising Tensions
NYPost
The United States and Iran have begun direct face-to-face negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan. This marks the highest-level diplomatic engagement between the two nations since 1979.
The talks follow a recent period of conflict and a fragile ceasefire that has already increased global tension and disrupted international oil supply chains.
Pakistan is playing a key mediating role by hosting both delegations and attempting to reduce the risk of a wider regional escalation.
Key demands from both sides:
Iran’s position:
Lifting of economic sanctions
Influence or control over the Strait of Hormuz
Strong guarantees to maintain the ceasefire
United States’ position:
Secure and unrestricted global oil shipping routes
Limits on Iran’s nuclear program
At the same time, the United States has warned that military action remains a possible option if diplomatic efforts fail.
