Lull in Iran, US fighting ‘achieved by fresh round of diplomacy’

A recent pause in US-Iran hostilities appears to have been achieved through a fresh round of diplomatic efforts, according to sources. Pakistan played a key role by maintaining communication with Tehran, Washington, Riyadh, and Beijing during the latest US bombing campaign. This lull coincides with Iran halting retaliatory attacks on US bases, suggesting both sides are creating space for potential talks. The easing of tensions is seen as a strategic move by the Trump administration to open dialogue, potentially influenced by ammunition shortages and opposition from military leaders. This development is significant as it could pave the way for resolving long-standing conflicts and fostering regional stability.
