Iran and US persist in their attacks, as Pakistan tries to keep diplomacy alive

The United States and Iran continue their mutual attacks despite diplomatic efforts from Pakistan to salvage a collapsed interim deal. U.S. strikes have failed to force Tehran to relinquish its control over the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway previously handled approximately one-fifth of global crude oil and natural gas shipments before the onset of the war. Diplomats in Islamabad are currently working to restore communication and revive the failed agreement between the two nations.
