Middle East conflict: US-Iran Peace Talks Gain Momentum Amid Trust Deficit, Pakistan Plays Mediator

Efforts to restart peace talks between the United States and Iran have intensified following signals from Donald Trump. Backchannel communication is ongoing, with Pakistan actively mediating and facilitating message exchanges between both sides. The mediation aims to revive dialogue after earlier talks in Islamabad failed. US Vice President JD Vance acknowledged deep mistrust between the two nations, stating that a deal cannot be achieved overnight despite “good faith” negotiations. The key sticking points remain Iran’s nuclear program and control over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has claimed that Iran is eager for a deal and that the conflict is nearing its end, even suggesting recovery from war damage could take decades. However, analysts note that both countries are equally interested in ending the prolonged conflict. With mediators like China and Turkey involved, upcoming talks could prove निर्णायक in shaping stability in the Middle East.
