Nexus News Alert | New Delhi, 21 May 2026 — The Iran Israel War remains tense as Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir is set to visit Tehran today in a mediation effort. US President Donald Trump described ongoing talks with Iran as being on the “borderline” between a deal and renewed strikes.
Iran warned that any resumption of aggression by the US and Israel could escalate the conflict far beyond West Asia. The Revolutionary Guards issued a strong statement saying devastating blows would follow if attacks resume.

Iran is currently reviewing the latest US proposal received through Pakistani mediators. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has directed that near-weapons-grade uranium must not leave the country, complicating negotiations.
Trump-Netanyahu Phone Call
US media reported a tense phone conversation between President Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. While Israel wants to resume strikes to further degrade Iran’s capabilities, the US appears inclined towards a diplomatic deal.
Trump earlier said he paused planned strikes on Iran following requests from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. He warned that the US is ready to strike again if no agreement is reached.
Pakistan’s Role in Iran Israel War
Pakistan is actively mediating between Washington and Tehran. PM Shehbaz Sharif is also scheduled to visit China soon, where the Iran situation is expected to be discussed.
The ongoing Iran Israel War has disrupted global energy markets, with oil prices remaining volatile due to threats around the Strait of Hormuz.
The situation remains fluid with both sides issuing strong statements while backchannel talks continue. A ceasefire has been in place since early April, but tensions are high as negotiations reach a critical phase.
