Web Desk: Pakistan could host a meeting between the United States and Iran later this week under a proposal now being considered, CNN reported, as Washington pushes diplomacy after President Donald Trump’s sudden shift from threatening Tehran to backing talks.
The report said US Vice President JD Vance could attend the proposed meeting, while Pakistan, Turkiye, Egypt, and Oman are among the countries involved in mediation efforts aimed at securing a ceasefire and safe passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump’s change in tone marked a sharp shift after he warned on Saturday that he would hit Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened within 48 hours. According to CNN, the move towards talks followed warnings from Gulf allies that striking civilian infrastructure in Iran could trigger a dangerous escalation.
