Despite Iran refusing direct talks, U.S. envoys are traveling to Pakistan to restart ceasefire negotiations with Tehran. This effort comes as economic fallout mounts due to global energy disruptions.

US envoys are expected to travel to Pakistan on Saturday in a new bid to salvage ceasefire talks with Tehran, even as Iran ruled out direct negotiations with US representatives as its top diplomat arrived in Islamabad. The latest effort to broker a deal comes as an indefinite ceasefire has paused most fighting, but the economic fallout is still mounting with global energy shipments disrupted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
