The US and Iran have been engaged in talks to end the war in the Middle East, with Pakistan serving as a mediator. The latest round of talks was scheduled to take place in Islamabad, but US President Donald Trump cancelled the trip of his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, citing delays and internal divisions within Iran's leadership. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, had arrived in Islamabad and met with Pakistani officials, but there was no sign of a breakthrough in the talks. The war between the US and Iran has been ongoing since February 28, with both sides suffering significant losses. The conflict has also had a major impact on the global economy, with the price of oil and other commodities rising sharply. The US has imposed a naval blockade on Iran, which has responded by closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for international trade. The cancellation of the talks has raised concerns about the prospects for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The US and Iran have fundamentally different positions on the issues at stake, and it is unclear whether they can reach a compromise. The international community is watching the situation closely, with many countries calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
