        "summary": "Pakistan is hosting the second round of US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad amid heightened security measures, including checkpoints around key sites like Faisal Mosque, as tensions escalate due to the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump has signalled that negotiations could resume within days, praising Pakistan's army chief for maintaining stability, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sees a strong possibility for continuation despite ongoing disputes over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The conflict, now in its seventh week, has caused widespread humanitarian and global economic impacts, including soaring oil prices following restrictions on Chinese tankers.",
