Iran, US pursue ceasefire talks in Pakistan as Middle East tensions escalate
Iranian and US delegations are conducting diplomatic talks in Pakistan aimed at securing a ceasefire, with Pakistan's Prime Minister calling the negotiations "make or break" for regional stability. Iran has symbolically named a flight "Minab 168" in response to a school attack, while Israel continues military operations against Lebanon and refuses to discuss ceasefire terms with Hezbollah. The simultaneous escalation by Israel and de-escalation efforts by Iran underscore deep fractures in Middle Eastern conflict dynamics. These talks represent a critical juncture that could determine whether the region moves toward resolution or wider conflict.
