A shift from military confrontation to diplomacy is underway as Iran, the United States, and Israel move toward a temporary ceasefire, creating a two-week window for negotiations.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, confirmed that Tehran would allow limited access through the Strait of Hormuz and pause defensive actions if attacks against the country are halted.
The planned talks, expected to hold in Islamabad, place Shehbaz Sharif at the center of mediation efforts, following high-level engagements with Donald Trump, who approved a temporary suspension of US strikes.
Despite the breakthrough, Iranian authorities cautioned that the ceasefire remains conditional, stressing that a lasting peace will depend on broader agreements, including security assurances and sanctions relief.
The development signals cautious progress, with diplomacy now taking precedence in efforts to prevent further escalation in the region.
