Islamabad: Where the Iran–US–Israel Conflict Begins to Unwind

▪️ The Iran–US–Israel crisis did not begin in Islamabad — but its complexity has started to unwind there.

▪️ After weeks of escalation, Strait of Hormuz threats, energy market instability, and looming US strike warnings, diplomacy replaced confrontation — and that diplomacy moved to Islamabad.

▪️ Direct US–Iran negotiations were held in Islamabad — the highest-level engagement in decades — under Pakistan’s facilitation.

▪️ US Vice President JD Vance led the American delegation, while senior Iranian leadership participated in negotiations.

▪️ Talks ran for multiple rounds, written proposals were exchanged, and despite no final agreement, dialogue replaced escalation — marking a strategic turning point.

▪️ JD Vance described the Islamabad talks as substantive and conducted in good faith, acknowledging the seriousness of negotiations facilitated in Pakistan.

▪️ Iran formally thanked Pakistan for hosting and facilitating the dialogue, reinforcing Islamabad’s credibility as a neutral mediator.

▪️ International observers noted Islamabad emerging as:

• Neutral ground acceptable to adversaries

• Diplomatic bridge between competing blocs

• De-escalation platform during imminent conflict

▪️ The complexity being unwound in Islamabad was multi-layered:

• US-Iran brinkmanship

• Israel-Iran escalation dynamics

• Gulf infrastructure vulnerabilities

• Strait of Hormuz disruption fears

• Global energy market volatility

• Regional alliance pressures

• Domestic political constraints

▪️ Under these conditions, even initiating dialogue was strategically significant — sustaining it even more so.

▪️ Despite spoilers, disinformation, and competing pressures, negotiations continued — signaling diplomatic momentum.

▪️ The conflict is not resolved — but its trajectory has shifted.

▪️ Military escalation defined the crisis.

▪️ Diplomatic unwinding has begun.

▪️ That unwinding started in Islamabad.

▪️ Pakistan has emerged as:

• Credible neutral ground

• Bridge between adversaries

• Stabilizing diplomatic actor

• Crisis-management platform

▪️ Wars often begin in contested regions — peace begins where trust can be built.

▪️ For this crisis, that place has become Islamabad.

Giant leap for womankind

Well, When you are used to living behind a veil, opening a store for your business isn’t going to happen. This is why women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have gone online. Take for example, Abida Jillani, who is a pioneer of home-based exhibitions. She runs a home-based shop called Durshal , which means “doorstep”. She started it 15 years ago and now, with the help of the internet, has a whole new client base: women who tend to stay at home. After her husband died, Jillani said that instead of staying home and wallowing in self-pity, she decided to work and support her family. She learnt how to sew and, with Rs5,000, started a business.
