US-Iran ceasefire talks

Pakistan's military ruler is traveling to Tehran to attempt to revive stalled US-Iran ceasefire negotiations. Pakistan is positioning itself as a mediator in the Middle East conflict while managing complex relationships with both Iran and Saudi Arabia, having deployed troops and military assets to support the Saudi-led defense pact.

Israel's attacks on Lebanon have intensified tensions, prompting Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to warn that time is running out for maintaining stability. The escalating conflict threatens to derail ongoing US-Iran ceasefire talks, adding to regional instability.
