As tensions rise between the US and Iran, a US pilot is missing after being shot down in Iran's remote region. President Donald Trump continues to pressure Tehran with a looming deadline to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz, intensifying global scrutiny.

The conflict, now in its sixth week, began with US-Israel joint strikes and has led to thousands of casualties, severe market disruptions, and targeted strikes on infrastructure, including civilian areas. With threats escalating, both nations face warnings of potential war crimes.

Amidst this, mediators from Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt seek to facilitate diplomatic negotiations to halt the ongoing hostilities. However, the uncertainty hangs over any potential deal as deadlines and military actions intensify the situation, with both sides reluctant to make concessions.
