Donald Trump is pushing a controversial idea which is taking control of Iran’s Kharg Island, the country’s most critical oil export hub, as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran continue to escalate.

In the midst of this, Pakistan has stepped forward, offering to host “meaningful talks” between Washington and Tehran, a diplomatic opening that comes even as the threat of further escalation looms.
