Iran's Foreign Minister Arrives in Pakistan as Trump Expects Deal

Pakistan mediates talks to revive US dialogue as Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extends, with Strait of Hormuz disruptions impacting a fifth of global oil and LNG trade.

  • On Friday, Israel and Lebanon extended their shaky ceasefire by three weeks, as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi began a regional tour to review the war situation in Islamabad, Muscat, and Moscow.
  • President Donald Trump warned that "the clock is ticking" for the Islamic republic, as the parallel war between the US and Iran launched eight weeks ago continues to stifle trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Hezbollah claimed it shot down an Israeli drone while Lebanese authorities reported two people killed by an Israeli strike, escalating tensions despite the ceasefire extension announced Friday.
  • US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will travel to Islamabad on Saturday to meet Araghchi, who is expected to present a written response to the American peace proposal.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed successful early-stage prostate cancer treatment, while Trump remains confident a Lebanon peace deal would be "easy one," though no date is set for second-round US-Iran talks.
