Makkah pact’s first mediation effort to pause the Iran war

Tehran, Iran ·

A high-level delegation from the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement countries visited Tehran on Monday, adding to momentum for de-escalation and against a resumed US-Iran war. The war is still considered likely, but the visit opened a window for de-escalation, and Pakistan is among the countries involved in the visit.

Iran and the United States have been in a long-running standoff over Iran's nuclear programme and regional role, and mediation by regional states has recurred in this dispute.
