Iranian president lands in Pakistan as US-Iran teams work to finalize a war-ending deal

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian arrived in Pakistan for talks with officials mediating U.S.-Iran negotiations to end the Middle East war. Discrepancies emerged over IAEA access to U.S.-bombed Iranian nuclear sites, and renewed violence in Lebanon threatened diplomatic progress. A 'de-confliction cell' was agreed to address Lebanon-Israel fighting, and the Strait of Hormuz's openness was discussed.
