New strikes overshadow Pak's bid to revive Iran peace
A 10th consecutive day of U.S.-Iran strikes has overshadowed Pakistan's diplomatic efforts to revive a collapsed ceasefire deal. Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni's visit to Islamabad aimed to mediate the conflict, but prospects for a new arrangement remain uncertain as both sides escalate attacks on civilian infrastructure. The ongoing violence has pushed energy prices higher, with crude oil trading above $91 a barrel amid fears over control of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
