LIVE: Pakistan Peace Talks Set to Fail as Iran Snubs US Delegation | Vantage on Firstpost

Описание: Eight weeks into the West Asia crisis, hopes of de-escalation are once again fading as rising military tensions threaten to derail already fragile diplomacy. While there was brief optimism last week—with Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and signals of engagement from U.S. President Donald Trump—the situation has since sharply deteriorated. The strait has closed again, naval confrontations have escalated, and Washington’s seizure of an Iranian-flagged vessel has further inflamed tensions. Now, with a two-week truce nearing its expiry, uncertainty looms over the next round of talks reportedly planned in Islamabad, especially as Tehran has made it clear it has no confirmed plans to attend. Deep mistrust persists, with Iran accusing the U.S. of coercive diplomacy, while Washington continues to apply pressure through threats and military posturing. With key differences unresolved—ranging from sanctions relief to nuclear restrictions and maritime security—the path to peace appears increasingly uncertain, raising a fundamental question: can both sides even return to the negotiating table? Hem Saroya tells more.
