US EditionPakistan Pushes Iran, U.S. Talks as Ceasefire Deadline Nears
Pakistan is preparing to host second-round talks as U.S. and Iranian delegations remain unconfirmed and a ceasefire set to expire Wednesday hangs in doubt.
- A two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran expires Wednesday, with President Donald Trump warning he will not extend the pause without a broader agreement; negotiations in Islamabad remain uncertain.
- The conflict stretched over five weeks before the ceasefire, severely restricting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz; thousands of Israeli troops remain in Lebanon, compounding regional instability.
- Around 20,000 civilian seafarers remain stranded following 25 confirmed attacks on commercial shipping since February 28, according to the International Maritime Organization; daily transits through the Persian Gulf have plunged to only a few dozen.
- Pakistan urged both nations to extend the ceasefire and pursue diplomacy, though Iran's chief negotiator Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf wrote that Tehran rejects negotiations "under the shadow of threats."
- U.N. Secretary-General Antnio Guterres warned Tuesday that the conflict triggered "the most severe energy crisis in a generation," while regional actors warn escalation remains "possibly high" as disruptions keep oil markets volatile.
