Iran-US War Talks in Pakistan, Oil Prices Soar

Irans Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Pakistan, sharing views ahead of US envoys arrival, aiming to end the eight-week war impacting the global economy. Direct talks between Iran and the US are not on the table. US envoys, including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, are set for weekend discussions following failed talks in Islamabad. The war has resulted in over five thousand deaths, primarily in Iran, and caused gas prices to surge. The US Navy is enforcing a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a dip in oil prices and a rise in stocks. Trumps pressure on Iran is causing concern among advisers, but a ceasefire extension between Israel and Lebanon could pave the way for progress in indirect talks.
