## Resource

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are escalating around the Strait of Hormuz, with military strikes and retaliatory attacks dominating headlines — but behind the scenes, diplomacy hasn’t been abandoned. Pakistan, once a key mediator in a now-fallen ceasefire, is pushing back against claims it’s given up on talks. U.S. Vice President JD Vance insists diplomacy remains essential, calling military force just one tool. Iran and the U.S. haven’t officially shut the door on negotiations, even as strikes target ships and drones fly. Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Pakistan are quietly working to restart talks, hoping that once both sides exhaust the logic of escalation, they’ll return to the table — before it’s too late.
