History doesnt agree with this. Israel plan of expansion is real, they have been expanding since 1948, new settlements every other year. Even if Iran dismantles, Israel will invent a new enemy and use it to expand.

We are not going back in time, so history is said and done. We are in the present, and must look forward to the future by working on it today.

And whether Iran modifies its support to its proxies or not is a decision for its leaders to make whether they can continue to do so or not. (The same decisions need to be made by other parties to this war too, of course.)

The problem arises only when comparing the price compared to incomes, and here there is much to fret about, to be honest.

I can understand poor countries fretting about it , it's hard to justify the Americans doing RR.

Americans can weather the direct fuel costs better than others, yes, but it is the knock-on effects on the rising costs of transportation that multiply throughout supply chains, leading to a much wider impact due to inflation, and that is where their worries lie.

What future? Israel which is already expanding in to West Bank, Lebanon and South Syria. The occupier is not changing, if Israel wanted peace we would have it tomorrow.

Every side can hope to get the future for which they are able to work successfully in the present. That is how it goes, always.

• Speakers at discussion on Islamabad talks warn oil prices may go beyond $120 per barrel if war resumes
• Tehran proposal on Hormuz reopening gains traction, ex-envoy claims
• Conflict described as ‘non-contact war’ with global economic impact
• Pakistan’s role for world peace praised at UK-based forum

LAHORE: Intense domestic political pressures in Washington and Tehran could stall a final peace deal, speakers at a panel discussion warned on Wednesday, stressing that failure to reach an agreement might trigger a regional conflict and push global crude oil prices beyond $120 per barrel.

The discussion, titled ‘Islamabad Talks: Bridging Divides Through Quiet Diplomacy’, was hosted by the Old Ravians Union (ORU) at Government College University (GCU).

Speaking on the occasion, former ambassador Mansoor Ahmed Khan said growing global polarisation had weakened the credibility of traditional mediators such as the European Union and Nato.

In this context, he noted, Pakistan’s civil and military leadership had stepped in to facilitate engagement among key international stakeholders.

He revealed that a proposal by Tehran to separate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz from long-term nuclear negotiations was gaining traction and was being actively debated by the US National Security Council.
