Pakistan ‘ready to host US-Iran talks’: Can latest peace push work?

Pakistan has offered to host talks between the United States and Iran as part of a broader mediation effort that also involves Turkey and Egypt. The move represents an attempt to reduce tensions between the two countries, which have remained adversaries since Iran's 1979 revolution and have clashed repeatedly over nuclear policy, regional proxy conflicts, and sanctions. Analysts are skeptical about the prospects for success, citing the deep ideological and strategic divisions that have long separated Washington and Tehran. The latest push comes as regional instability continues across the Middle East, where US and Iranian interests frequently collide. Whether any of the three mediating nations can bridge the fundamental disagreements between the US and Iran remains uncertain.
