Iran's delegation, led by parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, arrived in Islamabad for talks with the United States, which are seen as critical for regional peace. However, Iran has set conditions for the negotiations, demanding a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of its blocked assets. US President Donald Trump has responded with threats of military action if an agreement is not reached, stating that the US is prepared to use advanced weaponry. Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif described the talks as a 'make or break' opportunity for peace. The situation is further complicated by ongoing violence in Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant casualties, and tensions over Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. The outcome of these negotiations could have far-reaching implications for regional stability and international relations.
