Iran war: Trump can continue the same failed policies - or shape a historic legacy Submitted by Seyed Hossein Mousavian on Tue, 09/01/2026 - 15:57 Bombing and sanctions have not worked. The US president must seize this moment to establish a comprehensive regional security framework US President Donald Trump is pictured in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on 17 August 2026 (Jim Watson/AFP) On In recent days, several high-level regional diplomatic initiatives have signalled an effort to revive US - Iran negotiations.  Pakistan ’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, travelled to Tehran last month, followed by the foreign ministers of Oman and Qatar , each seeking to preserve the Islamabad memorandum of understanding signed by US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, in June.  According to Iranian officials, Tehran delivered a consistent message to all three mediators: Washington should return to the Islamabad memorandum and work towards ending the wars across all regional fronts as the basis for renewed negotiations.  Yet while Iran and Oman have reached an agreement to open a temporary new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, Washington rejected Tehran’s proposal to return to the Islamabad agreement, and resumed military escalation by striking rocket launchers on Larak Island.  Iran responded with missile attacks on US bases in Jordan , reinforcing the cycle of confrontation, and signalling that the US remains more committed to coercion than diplomacy. Eight years ago, Trump abandoned the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, widely regarded as former President Barack Obama’s signature diplomatic legacy.

THE funeral ceremonies for Iran’s assassinated supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family members, which began in Tehran on Friday, are evidence that the joint US-Israeli endeavour to break the Islamic Republic has failed. If anything, their aggression has rallied Iranians, who appear prepared to defend their country from hostile external forces. The ayatollah’s funeral has attracted dignitaries from around the world; clearly, the attempt to isolate Iran has also failed.

LAHORE: Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik on Sunday said that Pakistan was “considering” purchasing cheaper Iranian oil and gas. The option of sourcing Iranian crude oil supplies has again become available to Pakistan after a temporary easing of US sanctions on Tehran. By availing this opportunity, Pakistan could source discounted crude and refine it locally to produce higher-value petroleum products.

Tehran said on Sunday it carried out a third day of retaliatory strikes against US attacks on Iranian territory, as both accused the other of violating their fragile ceasefire, straining negotiations meant to end the Middle East war. The exchanges underscored the fragility of a Pakistan-brokered peace process aimed at ending a war launched by the United States and Israel in February, which disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and rattled global energy markets. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday they were taking measures to control traffic in the vital Strait of Hormuz and that violating vessels would be dealt with more firmly than before.

Pakistan Refinery Ltd (PRL) had previously imported Iranian crude under a long-term contract with the National Iranian Oil Company, but purchases halted after US sanctions were imposed.
