Midnight ticked past as the long-awaited US-Iran talks collapsed in Islamabad. Twenty-one tense hours melted into breakdown, the first high-level meeting since ’79 crumbling fast. JD Vance stepped onto Air Force Two empty-handed, wheels up before dawn. A fragile two-week truce, stitched together by Pakistan, now frays at the edges. Control of the Strait of Hormuz still rests firmly in Tehran’s hands. The conflict starting February 28 might now shift into its riskiest stage so far. Vance left behind a sharp warning - America delivered what it sees as its last strong proposal. From here, Tehran holds the decision. Out front, the Serena Hotel stood quiet under early sun, gates sealed since Wednesday for what started Saturday - diplomatic voices gathering inside. Hidden behind walls thick with history, the Red Zone held its breath, home to power centers and foreign offices alike. Every room booked, streets tightened up, patrol numbers climbing block by block.

Posted just under two hours before an 8 p.m. Eastern cutoff he’d previously named. That moment marked the edge of his demand: Iran must allow full passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Failure meant fresh attacks, targeting energy sites, crossings over water, and public systems. Out of talks with Pakistan’s leader Shehbab Sharif and top military figure As...

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres delivered one of his most urgent warnings of the entire Iran war crisis on Thursday, March 12, 2026 — declaring that the US-Israeli military strikes against Iran and Iran's retaliatory attacks across the region have caused "immense suffering" and pushed the Middle East to a "breaking point." Guterres made the remarks in Ankara, Turkey, where he was receiving the prestigious Atatürk International Award for Peace from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the Presidential Complex. In a speech that turned what was meant to be a celebration of peace into one of the most sombre warnings the UN chief has issued in his tenure, Guterres called on all parties to the conflict to immediately cease hostilities, uphold international law, protect civilians, and return urgently to the negotiating table. "The massive military strikes launched by the United States and Israel and the subsequent attacks by Iran on so...
