A fragile pause in the West Asia conflict hangs in the balance as Washington appears to be reopening diplomatic channels—even as questions grow over the effectiveness of its Strait of Hormuz blockade. Pakistan has emerged as an intermediary, with Field Marshal Asim Munir in Tehran reportedly conveying Trump’s message. However, Iran has kept its options open, refusing to commit to any ceasefire extension. Meanwhile, Israel remains on edge. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that military operations could resume if diplomacy fails—raising fears that the region could slip back into full-scale war.
