Iranian Delegation Lands in Islamabad Ahead of US-Mediated Talks as Ceasefire Talks Loom

An Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad for Washington-brokered talks with the US as Israel and Lebanon prepare to discuss a ceasefire in Washington next week. Pakistan is mediating between Tehran and Washington, with US Vice-President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner heading to participate. Iran’s preconditions—an immediate Lebanon ceasefire and the unfreezing of billions of dollars in assets—highlight the core sticking points, including Iran’s nuclear program and its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, making a breakthrough in Islamabad unlikely and signaling more rounds of negotiations to come.

Lebanon and U.S. seek a pause in Israeli strikes before Lebanon-Israel talks

Lebanon and the U.S. have asked Israel for a temporary pause in air strikes against Hezbollah ahead of direct negotiations with Beirut next week, aiming to de-escalate as talks in Washington under U.S. mediation begin. Beirut says any ceasefire must come from Israel-Lebanon talks, not Iran, while Israel’s stance remains unsettled and Netanyahu weighs the request. The push comes amid trilateral discussions and planned high-level visits, with both sides signaling that a forthcoming accord will be delicate and political.

Pakistan’s Asif sparks uproar with incendiary Israel remark amid mediation bid

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif wrote on X that Israel is “evil and a curse for humanity,” a post since deleted, as Islamabad seeks a bigger diplomatic role in ceasefire talks involving the US, Israel and Iran. His remarks, which also described the Israeli founders as deserving to “burn in hell,” drew condemnation from Israel’s U.S. ambassador and a U.S. envoy and add to a pattern of harsh anti-Israel language from Asif. The episode unfolds as Pakistan hosts and aids talks on the Iran crisis and Lebanon violence, highlighting the challenge of Islamabad’s bid to position itself as a regional mediator amid a widening conflict.

Lebanon becomes flashpoint as Iran presses US to choose war or ceasefire

Lebanon has emerged as a flashpoint in the bid to end Iran-linked hostilities, as Iran’s officials accuse the US and Israel of violations and demand that Lebanon be included in a two-week ceasefire deal, while Washington and Jerusalem say Lebanon was never part of the agreement. The dispute threatens the fragile truce as Israel widens strikes on Hezbollah and Iran signals possible costs for breaches, with regional actors like Pakistan weighing in and concerns mounting over civilian casualties and displacement amid broader tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran Divided Over Two-Week Ceasefire as War Continues

Iranians are deeply divided over a two‑week ceasefire announced in the US-Israel–Iran war: some oppose it, fearing it will strengthen the regime and deepen repression, while others support pausing further attacks to avoid total destruction. The debate is fueled by Trump’s threats and past messaging during Iran’s protests, and civilians have paid a heavy price—HRANA cites 1,701 Iranian civilian deaths (including 254 children) with broader regional casualties as the conflict persists.

Trump’s announced ceasefire with Iran collapsed within hours, triggering renewed Israeli bombardment of southern Lebanon, Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and conflicting claims about who brokered terms; Pakistan’s Sharif publicized an agreement the White House helped craft, while Democrats push a war powers resolution and Trump’s posts swing from boasting victory to threats, underscoring a chaotic, highly politicized crisis with regional spillovers.
