Pakistan is hosting a monumental peace summit between the United States and Iran to de-escalate regional tensions. The summit, reportedly dubbed the “Islamabad Accord,” aims to find a long-term solution to the Middle East crisis. This is being viewed as Pakistan’s most significant diplomatic achievement in decades, positioning the country as a neutral ground for global stability.
