Could the Islamabad talks end 48 years of hostility between the US and Iran?
Middle East Eye • 4/10/2026
Summary
The Islamabad talks aim to address 48 years of hostility between the US and Iran. Following 40 days of military confrontation between Iran and a coalition of the United States and Israel, a two-week ceasefire has been announced. The reasons for this pause are attributed to a combination of military, strategic, political, and economic factors, although the truce remains fragile.
