Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia have met in Islamabad to discuss de-escalation in the Middle East
Iran has received proposals from the United States through mediators, but Tehran thinks they’re “highly unreasonable,” Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, has said as quoted by RT bureau in the Islamic Republic.
The mediators in question are Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The foreign ministers of these countries met in Islamabad for peace negotiations earlier Sunday.
Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf earlier claimed that the country's forces are “waiting” for American troops, as he accused the US of “secretly planning a ground invasion” while talking about negotiations.
US Central Command said yesterday that the USS Tripoli – carrying 3,500 US service members – has arrived in the Middle East.
Here are the latest developments:
The Israeli military has said it is ready for a “multi-front war” after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels entered the conflict with missile attacks on Israel.

Protests against the war were reported in Tel Aviv and cities across the US and Europe, while in Lebanon crowds gathered in Beirut after three journalists were killed in what was described as a targeted Israeli strike.
