A high-level delegation led by Asim Munir has held crucial talks with Iranian officials, exploring the possibility of restarting negotiations between Iran and the United States.
Officials in Islamabad are expected to host the next round of discussions, as a spokesperson from the White House expressed optimism that diplomatic engagement between both nations will continue.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region. Iran’s military has warned it could disrupt global trade routes across the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman if the US maintains its naval blockade of Iranian ports.
In Washington, the United States Senate rejected a Democratic-backed resolution aimed at halting military action against Iran without formal approval from Congress, signaling continued political divisions over the conflict.
Elsewhere, Israel has intensified strikes in Lebanon, where four paramedics were killed and six others injured during an emergency response operation in southern areas near Nabatieh.
The situation across the region remains volatile, with diplomatic efforts ongoing alongside escalating military threats.
