ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s top leaders are trying to restart talks between the U.S. and Iran after President Trump canceled a meeting in Islamabad. Tensions have risen after the U.S. began blockading Iranian ports, and Iran insists on ending the blockade before talks resume. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghachi spent Sunday in Oman discussing the Strait of Hormuz, a key point in negotiations. Trump extended a ceasefire with Iran last week, but military threats continue. Despite setbacks, experts say the negotiation process requires patience. The ongoing conflict has significantly impacted global oil prices and caused numerous casualties.
