Will Iran’s diplomatic push beyond Islamabad help stabilise the Strait of Hormuz?

Description

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin, as plans for a second round of talks with Washington have stalled again. Over the weekend, Araghchi also visited Oman and Pakistan to discuss ongoing regional tensions. Meanwhile, a standoff between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz is escalating, putting further strain on the global economy. As direct negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce any major breakthrough so far, could meetings in St Petersburg and Muscat lead to meaningful progress? And does Tehran’s recent diplomatic push signal a change in approach?
