However, extreme uncertainty prevails as Tehran hesitates to join the table. While the White House has confirmed that Vice President JD Vance, along with Jared Kushner, will lead the US delegation, Iran has signaled it won&#8217;t participate unless Israeli strikes in Lebanon cease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This diplomatic standoff follows President Donald Trump\u2019s severe ultimatum to Iran. Just as the deadline approached, a ceasefire was announced, positioning Pakistan as the key mediator. But the atmosphere turned toxic following explosive remarks by Pakistan\u2019s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif. He labeled Israel a &#8220;curse&#8221; and &#8220;cancerous,&#8221; sparking a furious response from Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel has slammed Pakistan, stating that such language is unbecoming of a nation attempting to mediate peace. As tensions escalate over these remarks, the success of the Islamabad summit hangs by a thread. With the shadow of the Iranian Supreme Leader&#8217;s recent death and the ongoing Gaza-Lebanon conflict looming large, the world waits to see if this &#8216;special&#8217; initiative by Pakistan can prevent an all-out global catastrophe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world is watching Islamabad as a high-stakes meeting between the US and Iran is scheduled to take place amid a fragile ceasefire in West Asia.
