The war has been on hold since April 8, when Pakistan mediated a two-week ceasefire. Following the ceasefire, Pakistan hosted the highest-level US-Iran talks since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which ended in Islamabad last weekend without agreement, but the ceasefire was held. The two sides are expected to hold a second and final round of talks in Islamabad in the upcoming week. There has been no official announcement from any of the sides about the exact date.
