Former Pakistani finance minister Asad Umar says PM Shehbaz Sharif’s Beijing visit could advance Iran-US deal efforts, with China playing a pivotal role to end the unprovoked war against Iran.

Iran on Monday reaffirmed its unwavering position in ongoing negotiations to end the third imposed war, with senior officials vowing the country will not yield to US pressure or maximalist demands.

Iran demands a definitive end to the imposed war on its terms – before any discussion on the nuclear issue – while a strategically defeated US has no options but to accept Iran's logical conditions or stumble into catastrophic escalation.

Iran issued statements on security and nuclear policy, reported an increase in Strait of Hormuz transits, and reaffirmed its military preparedness against any new aggression.

Iran reported advances in Pakistan-mediated talks with the US, continued Strait of Hormuz vessel transits, and ongoing regional diplomatic engagements.

Iran's ambassador to Pakistan says a positive step concerning Islamabad-mediated interactions between the Islamic Republic and the United States is possible.

As the US Empire collapses under economic, political, and strategic crises, Iran stamps its unbreakable will by refusing any concessions, breaking the vicious cycle of war, and imposing costs on America for its unprovoked aggression.
