Only one tanker passed through the Strait of Hormuz, tense ceasefire between the US and Iran, before the start of tomorrow's negotiations
Во Пакистан, властите се подготвуваат за утрешната прва рунда разговори меѓу САД и Иран, насочени кон решавање на конфликтот што започна со нападите на САД и Израел врз Иран на 28 февруари
These talks represent the first direct negotiations between the US and Iran in years, following weeks of conflict that have destabilized the Middle East and impacted global energy markets. A successful outcome could lead to a lasting peace deal, de-escalating regional tensions and potentially reopening vital shipping lanes, while failure risks renewed conflict.
