Ceasefire Countdown: U.S. and Iran Prep for Critical Pakistan Summit

Negotiators from the United States and Iran are racing to finalise a high-stakes diplomatic summit in Pakistan before a fragile two-week ceasefire expires. Nearly 20,000 security personnel have been deployed in Islamabad as both sides weigh fresh talks. Washington aims to stabilise global energy markets and dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities, while Tehran seeks sanctions relief and the lifting of its naval blockade. Recent incidents—like the U.S. seizure of the Iranian cargo ship Touska—have heightened tensions. With the ceasefire deadline hours away, failure to reach an agreement could reignite conflict and further disrupt oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
