U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that he might travel to Islamabad soon if Washington and Tehran succeed in reaching a peace deal. His remarks come after the marathon negotiations between top-level delegations from the two countries in Islamabad, amid a ceasefire that paused an intense weeks-long regional war. While those negotiations failed to deliver a breakthrough, can renewed diplomacy translate into a durable peace?
I argue that both sides have strong incentives to seek a deal despite their shared mistrust, but certain structural hurdles and unaddressed questions complicate the prospects for a truce that offers long-term dividends. Between pressures for de-escalation and impediments to compromise, regional and global stability hangs in the balance.
