Iran-Pakistan Tensions Ease as Envoys Return After U.S.-Brokered Talks

An Iranian delegation has left Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, following talks that ended without a formal agreement. The discussions, mediated by the United States, aimed to reduce border tensions after recent military exchanges. Pakistan has publicly urged both Iran and the militant groups involved to honor existing ceasefire pledges. A government statement confirmed Pakistan will continue to act as a mediator to support further dialogue. The departure of officials signals a de-escalation of immediate hostilities, but the core disputes remain unresolved. All sides emphasize diplomatic channels are still open.
