US-Iran Conflict Escalates Amid Regional Tensions and Pakistan's Mediation Role
The US-Iran conflict has escalated following the collapse of a 2026 ceasefire agreement, with mutual military strikes and increased regional tensions, including attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan maintains a delicate position, acting as a mediator between the US and Iran while balancing ties with Saudi Arabia, which faces Houthi attacks and a naval blockade. The conflict's continuation raises concerns about prolonged instability and challenges diplomatic efforts to restore peace in West Asia.
