The White House has been actively engaging Pakistan to facilitate a temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran amid escalating threats from US President Donald Trump. This diplomatic effort, led by Pakistan’s military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, resulted in a two-week ceasefire announcement involving the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil transit route. Despite the progress, divisions within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) pose a risk to the ceasefire's stability. Negotiations are set to occur in Islamabad, with representatives from both sides expected to attend. However, the ceasefire's future remains uncertain due to ongoing hostilities in the region and domestic backlash against the deal in Iran, where hardline factions oppose negotiations. The situation reflects the complexities of Middle Eastern diplomacy, with potential implications for global oil markets and regional security.
