Iran has firmly rejected Pakistan’s attempt to mediate peace talks with the United States, calling Washington’s demands “unacceptable” and refusing to engage in negotiations in Islamabad. The move highlights a deep trust deficit and effectively stalls diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Iran has intensified military actions, reportedly launching its 83rd wave of counter-strikes, signaling further escalation. Tensions have worsened following reports of a downed US aircraft and a missing American airman. While Qatar may emerge as a potential mediator, the situation remains volatile with no immediate resolution in sight. (PC: MSN)
