US EditionPakistan Pushes Iran, U.S. Talks as Ceasefire Deadline Nears
Security has tightened in Pakistan’s capital as U.S. and Iranian delegations prepare for talks that could extend a ceasefire, officials said.
- With the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran set to expire Wednesday night, uncertainty surrounds whether Tehran will attend peace talks in Pakistan as the diplomatic deadline looms.
- Tensions escalated after the US Navy intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship on Sunday in the Arabian Sea, prompting Tehran to accuse the US of "armed piracy" and threaten retaliation for the ongoing blockade.
- Oil prices rose around 5% amid fears the ceasefire could collapse, while Iranian state media claims at least 3,375 people have died since the war began, complicating diplomatic efforts.
- While a senior Iranian official said Tehran is "positively reviewing" participation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned that "continued violations of the ceasefire" by the US remain a major obstacle to Pakistan-mediated diplomacy.
- President Donald Trump stated he is unlikely to extend the truce, asserting any deal with Iran will be "FAR BETTER than the JCPOA," despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's skepticism of American signals.
