Islamabad is preparing to host historic peace negotiations between Iran and the US aimed at ending a conflict that began in late February. Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire between the warring nations after the conflict led to thousands of deaths and a global energy crisis due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The talks, scheduled to begin on Saturday, face challenges as disagreements persist over the inclusion of Lebanon in the ceasefire agreement. Pakistan has deployed security forces and declared public holidays to ensure the safety and smooth progression of the negotiations. Pakistani officials are prioritizing the talks and hope to help the two countries reach a lasting peace agreement.
