US conducts 11th night of strikes on Iran, Trump says no interest in talks

The United States launched its 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iranian targets, marking a sustained escalation in the conflict that has drawn international attention. The strikes, aimed at degrading Iran’s military capabilities, follow a series of retaliatory actions by Tehran that have intensified tensions across the Middle East.

In parallel, Tehran has broadened its offensive against Gulf states, targeting military and civilian infrastructure in several neighboring countries. This expansion of hostilities has heightened fears of a wider regional war. Amid the flare‑up, Pakistan has intensified diplomatic outreach, seeking to revive the interim agreement reached between the United States and Iran earlier this year. Islamabad’s officials have engaged with U.S. and Iranian counterparts, urging both sides to honor the commitments made under the accord and to prevent further escalation.

The situation remains fluid, with the United States and Iran both under pressure to de‑escalate while regional actors weigh their options. Pakistan’s renewed mediation efforts underscore the broader international desire to stabilize the region and preserve the fragile framework of the interim deal, though the path to a lasting resolution remains uncertain.
