News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the ongoing severe tension in West Asia, a big ray of hope has appeared for the world. Direct peace talks between America and Iran have started today in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad under the mediation of India’s neighboring country. This meeting, which is taking place amid the ‘ceasefire’ deadline given by US President Donald Trump and the huge military gathering, is being considered very important. The main objective of these talks is to stop the conflict that has been going on for months and prepare the ground for a permanent peace agreement.
Trump’s ‘peace’ and ‘power’ diplomacy
President Trump has sent a high-profile team of his trusted generals to Islamabad for these talks. This delegation will be led by the Vice President JD Vance Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner are also included. Trump has given a clear message on the social media platform ‘Truth Social’ that Iran now has no other option but an agreement. However, despite sitting at the negotiating table, America has not reduced its military presence in the Middle East, which reflects Trump’s policy of ‘Peace through Strength’.
Islamabad becomes ‘centre of peace’, Pakistan’s role
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir have played an important role in organizing this dialogue. According to Pakistani officials, a 10 and 15-point agenda is being discussed between the two sides. In its terms, Iran has demanded control over the Strait of Hormuz and the territorial withdrawal of US forces, while the US is adamant on the demand for a complete ban on Iran’s nuclear program and missile tests. Unprecedented security arrangements have been made around Hotel Serena in Islamabad.
World’s eyes fixed on Hormuz crisis and oil prices
The most important aspect of this dialogue is the smooth reopening of the ‘Strait of Hormuz’. Hundreds of oil tankers have been stranded at sea for the past several weeks due to the war situation, deepening the global energy crisis. If this negotiation is successful, the prices of crude oil in the international market may fall and the world will get great relief from inflation. However, Israel has also warned that it is keeping a close eye on this peace talks and will not compromise on its security.
