Pakistan-hosted talks between the United States, Iran and Israel are beginning today, but key disagreements remain unresolved. The main sticking points are the scope of the two-week ceasefire, Israel’s continued operations in Lebanon, and Iran’s handling of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The talks are being closely watched as a test of whether the fragile ceasefire can hold.
The ceasefire between Washington and Tehran is under growing pressure ahead of formal negotiations, with the Strait of Hormuz still largely blocked. The United States has accused Iran of failing to meet commitments on restoring shipping, while Tehran says Israeli attacks on Lebanon are undermining the agreement. Energy markets remain on edge as oil flows through the strait continue far below normal levels.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to begin direct talks with Lebanon, even as continued strikes risk destabilising the broader ceasefire arrangement. Israel says any future negotiations would focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing a new security framework, while Beirut is seeking a temporary ceasefire first. The diplomatic track remains uncertain as fighting continues on the ground.
