Is a peaceful settlement possible in Iran? | Inside Story

As the war in Iran continues to escalate, Pakistan has emerged as a potential facilitator to secure an end to the fighting. Its foreign minister has hosted a meeting with the top diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Egypt. Afterwards, he said Islamabad was ready to host and broker what he described as meaningful talks between Iran and the United States. Many say this could be the beginning of a diplomatic push to end the war Israel and the U.S. launched last month. Pakistan has close ties with both Tehran and Washington-- giving it an advantage in mediation talks. But what does it take to reach a peace deal?
