Pakistan is intensifying efforts to revive a US-Iran peace deal, with just four days remaining before the 60-day negotiation window expires. Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi journeyed to Tehran for discussions with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. A framework from June set a 60-day deadline for the two nations to negotiate a final agreement, which could only be extended with mutual agreement.
Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif expressed optimism, stating that the US and Iran are "close to some sort of arrangement" regarding the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump, however, demanded Iran pay compensation for past conflicts and insisted that the US has full control over the strategic waterway. Iran, on the other hand, insists on lifting the US blockade, releasing frozen assets, and guaranteeing no further military action.
The US-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked two cargo ships, killing eight people, raising concerns about the impact on energy supplies. Diplomatic efforts are under way to secure an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz, which could pave the way for a broader US-Iran peace deal.
