Shehbaz Sharif invited the US and Iran to hold peace talks in Pakistan, with Donald Trump signalling approval by sharing the proposal online. The move suggests a possible venue in Islamabad for negotiations to end the ongoing conflict. While Iran initially dismissed talks, it later acknowledged indirect messages via intermediaries. Potential US negotiators include Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with JD Vance possibly attending. Mediation efforts also involve Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. Despite diplomatic momentum, hostilities between Iran and Israel continue, raising doubts about immediate breakthroughs. (PC: HT)
