Ceasefire efforts between Iran and United States have stalled after Tehran رفض to attend proposed talks in Islamabad, calling Washington’s demands unacceptable, according to The Wall Street Journal. The setback undermines mediation attempts led by Pakistan, which had offered to host negotiations. Despite earlier signals from Donald Trump that discussions were progressing, no breakthrough has materialised. Islamabad’s role as a facilitator now appears uncertain as diplomatic momentum fades. The development highlights deep divisions between the two sides and complicates regional efforts to de-escalate tensions amid the ongoing conflict, with no immediate pathway to dialogue visible.
