Diplomatic efforts have intensified in the Middle East as Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan attempt to arrange a direct meeting between the United States and Iran in Islamabad within the next 48 hours. According to reports, a 15-point proposal has been sent to Iran through Pakistan, and the mediating countries are working to secure a face-to-face dialogue soon.

Alongside these diplomatic moves, the United States is increasing its military presence in the region. Earlier, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, consisting of about 2,500 troops, was deployed, and now an additional 1,500 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division are being sent to the Middle East. These units are trained for offensive operations. Iranian negotiators have reportedly shown reluctance to meet US representatives Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, preferring instead to engage with Vice President JD Vance.

The situation remains tense as diplomatic and military activities advance simultaneously, adding complexity to the regional crisis.
